Romance Without Finance

(album: Message To The Young - 1971)

You say you love me
But baby that ain't so
You say you love me
But baby that ain't so

Because you don't wanna see me
Unless I've got some gold
I guess an old man
Ain't got a chance
I guess romance ain't without finance
Ain't nothing but a new something

A woman said she digs you
As long as you got some money
Now a woman said she digs you
As long as you got some money

When its all run out
Then you don't have no honey
That's why old men don't have a chance
Because romance ain't without finance
Ain't nothing but a new something

Old man feel a hard time
Trying to get the ends to meet sometimes
Old man sees the hard time
Trying to get ends to meet sometimes

He got try to people try to get some bread
I don't mean the kind you eat
Cause a woman can't live on love
That's what she tells her mother
'Cause romance ain't without finance
Ain't nothing but a new something
