The Rent

Boy, nothin' in life is free

That's why I'm asking you what can you do for me

I've got responsibilities

So I'm lookin' for a man who's got money in his hands

Cause nothin', from nothin', leaves nothin'

You got to have something if you wanna be with me

Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious

A fly girl like me needs security

Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious

A fly girl like me needs security

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

Boy, your silky ways are sweet

But you're only wasting time if your pockets are empty

I've got lots of love to give

But I will have to avoid you if you're unemployed

Cause nothin', from nothin', leaves nothin'

You got to have something if you wanna be with me

Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious

A fly girl like me needs security

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious

No romance without finance

No romance without finance

No romance without finance

No romance without finance

You look good, you look good, you look good

You look good, you look good, you look good

You look good to me

You look good, you look good, you look good

You look good, you look good, you look good

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

But your pockets, your pockets are empty
