Hey No romance without finance No romance without finance [Verse 1] Boy, nothin' in life is free That's why I'm askin' you what can you do for me I've got responsibilities So I'm lookin' for a man whose got money in his hands [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin' You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious A fly girl like me needs security [Chorus] 'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me [Post-Chorus] No romance without finance I said no romance without finance [Verse 2] Boy, your silky ways are sweet But you're only wastin' 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 [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin' You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious A fly girl like me needs security [Chorus] 'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me [Post-Chorus] No romance without finance I said no romance without finance No romance without finance I said no romance without finance [Bridge] Oh, you look good to me Your silky words are sweet But your pockets sure look empty [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin' You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious A fly girl like me needs security I said life is too serious, love's too mysterious A fly girl like me needs security [Chorus] 'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me [Post-Chorus] No romance without finance No romance without finance No romance without finance I said no romance without finance [Outro] What can you do for me?
