They cut the lights out yesterday
Said that my bill was overdue
But I don't need no power anyways
No, no baby, not when I got you
Now I bounced another check at the liquor store
And they hung my name up on the wall
Now they'll hide the bottles, when I head for the door
But your love is more proof than any alcohol
I can't feel the effect
But I sure know the cause
Ain't nothing but the rent going on
And the bill collectors are knocking down my door
Let's sit in the dark without the TV on
'Cause without furniture, we'll sit on the floor
Love is what really keeps me driving strong
'Cause the repo man took my car and everything is gone
Well they cut up my credit card at the supermarket
She just shook her head, "Charges denied"
(What!?)
But I know I can get by with just lint in my pockets
'Cause your love feeds my hunger and keeps me satisfied
I don't know why but my heart keeps me alive
Ain't nothing but the rent going on
And the bill collectors are knocking down my door
Let's sit in the dark without the TV on
'Cause without furniture, we'll sit on the floor
Love is what really keeps me driving strong
'Cause the repo man took my car and everything is gone
Without your love
There ain't nothing but the rent going on
There's nothing going on
♪
Well it's all gone now baby
There ain't nothing left but fleas and dust
You can't take it with you so they say
But I still got my spirit and my voice
Won't let 'em rust
So lift your voice up to the lord and give god some praise
For all the gifts that you've been given and the life we live today
Ain't nothing but the rent going on
And the bill collectors are knocking down my door
We can sit in the dark without the TV on
'Cause without furniture, we sit on the floor
Love is what really keeps me driving strong
'Cause the repo man took my car and everything is gone
Without your love
There ain't nothing but the rent
No your love
There ain't nothing but the rent
No your love
There ain't nothing but the rent going
(Ain't nothing but the rent going)
On!
(Ain't nothing but the rent going)
On!
(Ain't nothing but the rent going)
On!
(Ain't nothing but the rent going)
On!
(Ain't nothing but the rent going)
On!
