The Rent Lyrics by Adam Joseph

The Rent - EP

2017

[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 who's 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
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
[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
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
[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
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]
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious
[Bridge]
No romance without finance
No romance without finance (you look good to me)
No romance without finance
No romance without finance (you look good to me)
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
[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
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
[Outro]
You look good to me
Oh, you sound so sweet
But your pockets, your pockets are empty
