Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a one room apartment to a little, tiny space
Isn't much, but keeps the rain drops off my pretty baby's face
I'm just gettin' by and the money's spent
Don't even know how I'm gonna pay the monthly rent
But I know exactly what I wanna do
I wanna make this work with you, yeah
[Verse 2]
I know you're wondering what I mean, baby
Nothin' in life is guaranteed
I never know just where I'm goin', lady
I need direction in my life
[Verse 3]
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
[Verse 4]
While I was out window gazin', I put your coat on lay away
You know I wanna buy you diamonds soon as they increase my pay
Startin' from down it's hard to kept your head
Makin' love every night on a squeaky bed
That's right, that's the way it is, there are no guarantees, no
[Verse 5]
I know you're wondering what I mean, baby
Nothin' in life is guaranteed
I never know just where I'm goin', lady
I need direction in my life
[Verse 6]
Do anything you want to do, baby
You know I'll be down for you, baby
So let's just keep it strong
Let's keep it strong
Let's keep it strong, oh
[Verse 7]
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
[Verse 8]
Life has no guarantees (Life has no guarantees)
But, baby, if you be with me (But, baby, if you be with me)
I can't promise you nothing (I can't promise you nothing)
But that you'll never be alone (Girl, you'll never be alone)
[Verse 9]
Life has no guarantees (Life has no guarantees)
But, baby, if you be with me (But, baby, if you be with me)
I can't promise you nothing (I can't promise you nothing)
But that you'll never be alone (Girl, you'll never be alone)
[Verse 10]
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
