AIN'T NOTHIN' GOIN' ON BUT THE RENT
Album : Good To Go Lover
(Gwen Guthrie)
Gwen Guthrie - 1986


Bill collectors at my door
What can you do for me
Hey

No romance without finance
No romance without finance

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 whose got money in his hands

`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

`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

No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance

Boy, you're 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

`Cause nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me
`Cause life is too 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 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

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

Ooh, nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me
Whoa, life is too serious, love's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
I said life is too serious, love's too mysterious
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 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

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

What can you do for me
Oh, you look good to me
Your silky words are sweet
But your pockets sure look empty

Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

I'm lookin' for a man to put some money in my hands

Really Nice Thread.

Please, can someone tell me the artist who sang this song as well as the title of the song.

Part of the lyrics of the song:
Oh girl i think i love you
I'm always thinking of you
And i want you to know i'll do it all for
loveee,

Thanks!

I think the name of the group is Color Me Badd. Simple but ever fresh music.

Love this music and I now broadcast this music all over the world. To listen to my broadcast just go to the web page below. Just add a dot after the last word and then .com. For some reason it's not letting me type the whole address.

www.shinobifunkgrooveradio

To see the tracks history: http://djshinobifunkgrooves.no-ip.info:8000/

yes ,it was 'colour me bad' and the song title 'all for love'

there was this popular song in the eighties that went like this

Never met nobody like you,
Makes me feel like you do,
Got me coming on so strong to you,
Ever since i laid on you ,
Just dont know what to do,
Find myself falling deeper in your love,
You've got me just where you want,
Dont keep me waiting too long

Chorus
Nobody can love me the way that you do,
Nobody can love me the way that you do,

What an awesome playlist!!!!! I need help. Do you remember the song Loose Talk. I do not know the artist.

Hey  I know the song by heart, and this is going back Years!! of Boggieing @ Unilag & Lacostech Isolo in the 80's

Here goes,

Instrumental,

No Holiday, No!
No Holiday,

Instrumental,

You re my shadow of reflection
you re what gets me thro the day
you're my source of inspiration
and then i have to say,
you're my sunshine in the morning, youre my light along the way
and i m giving you the warning, and i am faced with no delay

But then if thats not enough, then there nothing left to say
But it sure aint going be rough
Cos Love, aint no Holiday, No Holiday, No! No Hoiliday,

You're the cherry of My Sundune
The leader of my team
and you sure do cool me up girl
Like a never ending stream

You're the one i always think about
whenever things go wrong
aint no single way to tell u
that i love having you around,

But then if thats not enough, then there nothing left to say
But it sure aint going be rough
Cos Love, aint no Holiday, No Holiday, No! No Hoiliday

Instrumental,

But then if thats not enough, then there nothing left to say
But it sure aint going be rough
Cos Love, aint no Holiday, No Holiday, No! No Hoiliday

see i still havent 4gotten it
Ohhhh Those days!!

BTW, I don't know that it's been noted, yet, but a number of these tunes listed in this thread are actually from the 70s, and not the 80s. I offer that only to facilitate finding them for those who might not be familiar with them.

Who remembers this jam?

Admittedly this was known only among the creme de la creme in 80s Naija.

Hi there people, the list of oldies u have here is pretty impressive - Ababoy1 u really know your stuff. I'm really hoping with your vast knowledge, u could help me with the title of a song. I don't know all of it but i do have snippets of some of it, here goes - "come join the people, let us have some fun, cos the party's just begun yeah, come on everyone, let us have some fun" It's a real mellow party groove. Would be estatic if i could get the title or even the artist.

Well, here's hoping,

Regards
chike

"I was wondering if you MIGHT could help me out with a song that I have been searching for for quite a while now- I'm not sure of the title or artist of the song but it came out around 84 or 85 and the artist is male- all I know is that in the song he says "I want to be, I want to be your best friend. I just want to be something girl, oh I , , I want to be your best friend". I don't know if you even remember this song or not but I thought I'd give it a try. Anyway, If you would, just let me know.", This is a earlier post from 2006, did anyone find the name of the song or the artist? I LOVE THIS SONG TOO, please help, Thanks
