|
Got a one room apartment |
|
To a little tiny space |
|
Isn't much, but keeps the rain drops |
|
Off my pretty baby's face |
|
I'm just gettin' by |
|
And the money's spent |
|
Don't even know how I'm gonna pay the monthly rent |
|
But I know exactly what I wanna do |
|
I wanna make this work with you |
|
(Bridge 1) |
|
I know you're wonderin' what I mean |
|
Nothing in life is guaranteed |
|
I never know just were I'm going, lady |
|
I need direction in my life |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Nah, nah, nah |
|
No guarantee |
|
Nah, nah, nah |
|
No guarantee |
|
While I was out window gazin' |
|
I put your coat on layaway |
|
You know I wanna buy you diamonds |
|
Soon as they increase my pay |
|
Startin' from down it's hard to kept your head |
|
Makin' love every night on a squeaky bed |
|
That's right that's the way it is |
|
There's no guarantee |
|
(Bridge 2) |
|
I know you're wonderin' what I mean |
|
Nothing in life is guaranteed |
|
I never know just were I'm going, lady |
|
I need direction in my life |
|
Then anything you wanna do baby |
|
You know I'll be down for you lady |
|
So let's just keep it strong... |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Keep it strong |
|
We gotta keep pushin' on |
|
Keep it strong |
|
We gotta keep pushin on |
|
And on |
|
(Bridge 2) |
|
(Chorus) |
|
(Ad libs with chorus until end) |
