No Money No Love Songtext
von Byron Lee & Mighty Sparrow

Ivy pack up she clothes to leave
Because John was down and out
All alone he was left to grieve
She had a next man in South
She said openly
I really love you Johnny
But you ain′t have no money
So what will my future be
Even though you love me?

We can't love without money
We can′t make love on hungry belly
Johhny you'll be the only one I'm dreaming of
You′re my turtle dove, but - no money no love!


If you hear how he plead with she to get she to understand
Listen, mister, she tell Johnny
Leggo me blasted hand
And make up your mind
We got to break up this lime
She said poverty is a crime
You got no money
Still you tanglin′ me all the blinkin' time

We can′t love without money
No we can't make love on hungry belly
Johhny you′ll be the only one I'm dreaming of
You′re my turtle dove, but - no money no love!

Gentleman let me tell you plain
She say I don't want to make a scene
But if you only touch me again
The police will intervene
You ain't got a blasted cent
I couldn′t even pay me rent
I had to give up me appartment
You give me nothing to eat
Now you want me to sleep on the pavement?

We can′t love without money
No we can't make love on hungry belly
Johhny you′ll be the only one I'm dreaming of
You′re my turtle dove, but - no money no love!

Come on, everybody!
