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
