Janet Jackson, Bell Biv DeVoe, Ralph Tresvant and Luther Vandross - The Best Things In Life Are Free

Are you ready?
Woo
Free, baby

Boy, when you look at me
Do you judge me by my cover?
Got to be kiddin' me
To think that I'm that kind of lover
I don't mean to disagree
Sorry, you can't buy my kisses
Open your eyes and see
True love comes for free

I'm keepin' my heart open and hopin' you won't stab me in it
'Cause I've been in love before and when I had to pay I didn't
I'll lose my sanity tryin' to measure your intentions
What do you want from me? How much will it be?

No more than you're willing to give (yeah, yeah)
'Cause you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin', it's for free (alright)
And I won't make you promises (uh, uh)
I'll just do all I can to be your lover 'cause I understand

The best things in life are free (yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (don't you know that)
The best things in life are free (yeah)
Now that we've got each other
The best things in life are free

Yeah, yeah, sing (come on now)
Oh, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Alright, I like that (ooh, yeah)
Now, Janet
Ooh, Luther

I know you are my baby, my one and only baby
You said it twice, I'll say it thrice my baby, baby, baby

I've got so much love for you (yeah)
And it's easy to give it when I know you feel the same way too (yeah, yeah)
That's all I expect from you
Just do all that you can to be my lover 'cause I understand

I do (ooh), I do (ooh, ooh)
They say

The best things in life are free (yeah, yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (I've discovered)
The best things in life are free (come on now)
Now that we've got each other (we do)
The best things in life are free

The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free (so free, I'm free)
Now that we've got each other (so glad I'm free now)
The best things in life are free (BBD tell 'em 'bout free)

Sister, sister kickin' all that jazz (yeah)
'Cause money, honey, want what you never had (yeah)
A lot of bone structure, I can make it last
I'm in it to win it, RD feel the past
Yeah, material, imperial, so get the info
You know, I know, it's not about the dough
So, baby, baby, if you want to be my lady
I'll forget the riches and the other itches
Mo' money, mo' money, Jam & Lewis here we go
Mo' money, mo' money, Luther, Janet here we go
Mo' money, mo' money, Biv, DeVoe here we go
Ralph T. (That's me), best things in life are for free

Free, baby (yeah)
No more than you're willing to give (willing to give)
'Cause you won't give me nothin' for that good lovin', it's for free

And I won't make you promises, you see (yeah, woo)
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, we're gonna do, I'm gonna do
The very best I can to be your lover 'cause I understand

(Woo)
It feels good, it feels good
It feels good, it feels so good (uh, hold, hold, wait a minute)
I still don't think they've got it
Let's tell them one more time
Check it out
Everybody needs to know that

The best things in life are free (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (alright, everybody knows that)
The best things in life are free (that's right, yeah)
Now that we've got each other (each other)
The best things in life are free

The best things in life are free (don't you know, don't you know)
(The best things in life are free)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (don't you know)
What you mean to me (baby, yeah, baby)
The best things in life are free (you know, you know the best things are free)
Now that we've got each other (baby)
The best things in life are free

Don't ya know, don't ya know
The very best in life is free
