Ain't Nothin' Goin' On but the Rent Songtext
von Gwen Guthrie

Bill collectors at my door
What can you do for me?
Hey!

No romance without finance
No romance without finance

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 who's got some money in his hands

′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

'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

No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance


Boy, your silky ways are sweet
But we're only wastin′ time if your pockets are empty
I've got lot 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 somethin' if you wanna be with me
′Cause 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
Ain′t nothin' goin′ on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance (without finance)

Oh, you look good to me
Your silky words are sweet
But your pockets sure look empty
Ooh


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 say 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
Ain't nothin′ goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

No romance without finance
No romance without finance
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance (without finance)
What can you do for me?

Oh, you look good to me
Your silky words are sweet
But your pockets sure look empty
Ain′t nothin' goin' on but the rent
I′m lookin′ for a man to put some money in my hands
