No I'm not the type of girl to say

Baby, if you wanna play you pay

No way, I'm not that kind

Oh yeah -- I've got love on my mind

Down in the quarter

Out on the corner, walkin' the line

They say romance without finance

That's a crime



Mercy me, heavens above!

What's money got to do with love?

I need a squeeze without a doubt

Won't put my hold on your bank account

I need a lover

under the cover of the night

And if it's romance without finance

That's all right



Let us give you some free advice

Say that love must have its price

Can't you see girl, you're wastin your time

That boy, he ain't got a dime



They don't know if your love is true

They don't see what I see in you

You got a touch, feelin' so fine

I don't care about your bottom line



Down in the quarter

Almighty dollar's on their minds

But I'll take romance over finance

Every time



I don't care what your daddy do

I don't care if your blood is blue

Legal tender's bringin' me down

It ain't what makes my world go round



I need a lover

Seens me some tender eyes that shine

I'll take my romance over finance

Every time



Romance without finance

And I'll take romance over finance

Every time
