The Best Things in Life Are Free Songtext
von Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson

Are you ready?
Free, free, baby

Boy, when you look at me
Do you judge me by my cover?
Got to be kiddin′ me
To think that I'm that kind of lover
I don′t mean to disagree
Sorry, you can't buy my kisses
Open your eyes and see
True love comes for free

I'm keepin′ my heart open
And hopin′ you won't stab me in it
′Cause I've been in love before
And when I had to pay I didn′t
I'll lose my sanity
Tryin′ to measure your intentions
What do you want from me?
How much will it be?


No more than you're willing to give
'Cause you won′t pay nothin′ for this good lovin', it′s for free
And I won't make you promises
I′ll just do all I can to be your lover 'cause I understand

The best things in life are free
Now that I′ve discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we've got each other
The best things in life are free
Come on now
Ooh, yeah
Alright, I like that
Now, Janet
Ooh, Luther

I know you are my baby
My one and only baby
You said it twice, I'll say it thrice my baby, baby, baby

I′ve got so much love for you
And it′s easy to give it when I know you feel the same way too
That's all I expect from you
Just do all that you can to be my lover ′cause I understand
I do, (hoo) I do (hoo, hoo)
They say


The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we′ve got each other
The best things in life are free

The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we′ve got each other
The best things in life are free

BBD tell 'em 'bout free
Sister sister kickin′ all that jazz
Ain′t it funny, honey? Huh? what you never had
A lot of bone structure, I can make it last
A minute to win it, I deep fill the past

Materio went perio, so get the info
You know, I know, it's not about the dough
So maybe baby, if you wanna be my lady
I′ll forget the riches and the other itches

Mo' money, mo′ money, Jam & Lewis here we go
Mo' money, mo′ money, Luther, Janet here we go
Mo' money, mo' money, Biv, DeVoe here we go
Ralph T. (that′s me)
The best things in life are for free
Uhh huh
Free, baby
Yeah

No more than you′re willing to give
'Cause you won′t pay me nothin' for this good lovin′, it's for free
And I won′t make you promises
You see
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna do, we′re gonna be, I′m gonna do
The very best I can
To be your lover 'cause I understand

It feels good, it feels good, it feels good, it feels so good
Ha, ho, oh, wait a minute, I still don′t think they've got it
Let′s tell 'em one more time
Check it out!
Everybody needs to know that

The best things in life are free
Now that I′ve discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we've got each other
The best things in life are free

The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we′ve got each other
The best things in life are free

Don′t ya know, don't ya know
The very best in life is free
And I′m free, yeah
