(Janet)
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 heart to me and see
True loves comes for free
(Luther)
I'm keepin' my heart open
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
Trying to measure your intentions
What do you want from me
How much will it be
(Janet)
No more than you're willing to give
'cause you won't pay nothin'
For this good lovin'
It's for free
(Luther)
And I won't make you promises
I'll just do all that I can to be your lover
'cause I understand
(Chorus)
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 found each other
The best things in life are free
(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
(Janet)
I got so much love for you
And it's easy to give it
When I know you feel the same way too
(Luther)
That's all I expect from you
Just do all that you can to be my lover
'cause I understand, I do
(Chorus three times)
Sister, sister kickin' all that jazz (yeah)
'cause money, honey want what you never had (yeah)
A lot of bone structure I could make it last
I'm in it to win it, RD feel the past
Yeah, material, imperial, so get the info
You know I know it's not about the dough
So baby, baby, if you wanna be my lady
I'll forget the riches and the other itches
Mo' money, mo' money (Jam and Lewis, here we go)
Mo' money, mo' money (Luther, Janet, here we go)
Mo' money, mo' money (Biv, DeVoe, here we go)
Mo' money, mo' money (Ralph T, speak)
The best things in life are for free
Mmm, hmm
(Janet)
No more than you're willing to give
'cause you won't pay nothin'
For this good lovin', it's for free
(Luther)
And I won't make you promises
You see
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be
We're gonna be, I'm gonna be
The very best I can, to be your lover
'cause I understand
It feels good, feels good, feels good, feels so good
Uh, hold it, hold it, wait a minute
I still don't think they got it
Let's tell'em one more time, check it out
Everybody needs to know that
(Chorus twice)
