[Stevie Wonder]
\nYou just could not know how long we tried
\nTo see how this building looks inside
\nThis must be a lucky day for me
\nBecause the sign says there's a vacancy
\n
\n[Apartment owner]
\nLook I know you came a long way
\nBut you made it just too late
\nSo we had to give it to somebody else
\n
\n[Stevie]
\nWell I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes ago
\nAnd you told me that it was cool
\nI graduated from Howard U
\nMy job is paying good money too
\nAnd if you check on my resume
\nYou'll find they all wanted me to stay
\n
\n[Owner]
\nWell I can't take the time out
\nTo check your credit card
\n‘Cause the computer just broke down today
\n
\n[Stevie]
\nWell I'll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interview
\nBut I know what you're gonna say
\nI know what your bottom line is
\n
\n[Hook: Owner]
\nYou might have the cash
\nBut you can not cash in your face
\nWe don't want you living in here
\nSay you might have the cash
\nBut you can not cash in your face
\nWe don't want your kind living in here
\nToo bad, too sad
\n
\n[Stevie]
\nOur first child is due here any day
\nThat's why we're desperate for a place to stay
\nThe location is so perfect too
\nSo please try to do what you can do
\n
\n[Owner]
\nWell in this apartment complex no children are allowed
\nAnd if you told me that I could have saved you a lot of time
\n
\n[Stevie]
\nWell I thought the bill was passed that said you could not discriminate
\nBut I know some excuse you'll find
\nBecause your bottom line is
\n
\n[Hook: Owner]
\nYou might have the cash
\nBut you can not cash in your face
\nWe don't want you living in here
\nSay you might have the cash
\nBut you can not cash in your face
\nWe don't want your kind living in here
\nToo bad, too sad
\n
\n[Bridge: Owner]
\nAye, you might be a great doctor
\nYou might be a great lawyer
\nYou might possess the key to the city
\nOr may be a politician
\n
\n[Hook: Owner]
\nYou might have the cash
\nBut you can not cash in your face
\nWe don't want you living in here
\nSay you might have the cash
\nBut you can not cash in your face
\nWe don't want your kind living in here
\nToo bad, too sad\n\n
