Lyrics

No Guarantee

No guarantee

Is what I'm getting today

Appetite's so rampant

And they're demanding money

Everybody wants a good time

Yeah-yeah-yeah

And wild terms to agree

No credit taken

Oh oh oh whoa whoa whoa whoa

No guarantee

No guarantee

When we kiss

Your lips are tempting

Well baby listen to this

Gotta have some action

Yeah-yeah-yeah

You know I got to be free

Contracts are binding

Oh oh oh whoa whoa whoa whoa

No guarantee

Guarantee my baby

Guarantee my love

Guarantee me for a month of good sundays

Promise me every single one'll be fun-days

Give me a dime for every party revolution

Launder my debts in paragorical solution

Even the boss has been slandered and slagged

Now he's sitting in the alley

With a bottle in a paper bag

No guarantee

When we play

Turn the house lights up bob

- fellas look over dey!

This hall is empty

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Up to 17b

But what's depressing

Oh oh oh whoa whoa whoa whoa

No guarantee

Guarantee me

Guarantee baby

Guarantee my love

Oh guarantee when you're coming in me

You got a rubber on baby

Guarantee when I love you for free

I'm gonna pay one day

Oh guarantee

When you sock it to me

When you punch it to me

When you hook it to me

When you knock it to me

When you talk it to me

You guarantee my love

Oh!
