Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dah dah
The best things in life are free, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dah dah
Free, baby
[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross, Luther solo]
The best things in life are free (Yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me

The best things (Yeah) in life are free
Now that we've got each other, the best things in life are free
[Post-Chorus: Luther Vandross]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Uh-huh-huh, hey, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross]
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
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'd lose my sanity
Tryin' to measure your intentions
What do you want from me?
How much will it be?
[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross]
No more than you're willin' to give (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin' (Alright)
It's for free
And I won't make you promises
I'll just do all I can
To be your lover 'cause I understand
[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross, Luther solo]
The best things in life are free (Yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
(Don't you know it)
The best things (Yeah) in life are free
Now that we've got each other, the best things in life are free
[Post-Chorus: Luther Vandross & (Janet Jackson)]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Uh-huh-huh, hey, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Both]
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, 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 (Hoo), I do (Hoo, hoo)
They say...
[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross, Luther solo]
The best things (Yeah) in life are free (Yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (I've discovered)
The best things in life are free
Now that we've got each other, the best things in life are free
[Bridge: Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Both]
Come on now
Come on, baby
Doo doo doo doo doo, dah dah
Come on now
Free, baby
No more than you're willin' to give (Willin' to give)
'Cause you won't pay me nothin' for this good lovin'
It's for free
And I won't make you promises
You see, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, we're gonna be, I'm gonna do
The very best I can
To be your lover 'cause I understand
[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross, Luther solo]
The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
Now, hold it, hold it, wait a minute
I still don't think they've got it
Let's tell 'em one more time, check it out
Everybody needs to know that
