Boy, nothin’ in life is free

 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

 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
 fly girl like me needs security
