Sooner or later it's a matter of money

And then it's just a matter of time

You can say you don't care and you think it's funny

But baby it's your life on the line

You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact

Your love is your life and your life is your act

So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time

Ya gotta have something that always rhymes

Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time

Ya gotta have something

Gotta have something that rhymes

Continue to dream after you're robbed of sleep

even though the images fade

So grab what you can and all you can keep

Do you really think you'll come out unhurt?

You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact

Your love is your life and your life is your act

So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time

Ya gotta have something that always rhymes

Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time

Ya gotta have something

Gotta have something that rhymes
