Bill collector's at my door
What can you do for me, oh?

No romance without finance
No romance without finance

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 some money in his hand

'Cause nothin' from nothin', leaves a nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you want to be with me
Oh-oh, life is just 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 want to be with me
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J O B, if you want to be with me

No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance

Boy, your silky words are sweet
But we're only wastin' time if your pockets are empty
I, I got lots of love to give
But I will have to avoid you if you're unemployed

'Cause nothin' from nothin', leaves a nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you want to be with me
Oh-oh, life is just 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 want to be with me
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J O B if you want to be with me

No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance

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

Woh-ooh, nothin' from nothin', leaves a nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you want to
