[ Featuring Chico DeBarge ]
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 moneys 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
I know your wandering what I mean
Nothing in life is guaranteed
I never know just were I'm going 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 layaway
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 guarantee
I know your wandering what I mean
Nothing in life is guaranteed
I never know just were I'm going 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
I know your wandering what I mean
Nothing in life is guaranteed
I never know just were I'm going lady
I need direction in my life
Keep it strong
We gotta keep pushin' on
Keep it strong
We gotta keep pushin' on and on
