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
