Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee

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

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

Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee

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 the way it is, there's no guarantees, yeah, baby

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

Then anything you wanna do, baby
You know I'll be down for you, lady
So let's just keep it strong
Let's keep it strong, let's keep it strong, oh

Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee

Keep it strong, we gotta keep pushin' on
Keep it strong, we gotta keep pushin' on and on

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

Then anything you wanna do, baby
You know I'll be down for you, lady
So let's just keep it strong
Let's keep it strong, let's keep it strong, oh

Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee

Oh, baby, baby, baby, I know you're wondering what I mean, baby
Just get it out of that [Incomprehensible]
I never know just where I'm goin'
I need direction, baby

Then anything you wanna do, baby
You know I'll be down for you, lady, baby
I'll be down, baby

Nah, nah, nah, no guarantee
