We Don't Work For Free Lyrics - Singles - Grandmaster Flash

In the darkness of night, huh 

All the stage lights are shining bright 

Hey, And we work very hard to make you stay, Raah! 

But it aint no thing y'all 

'Cause I know that you can hang 

We're not too expensive but you got to pay, Raah! 

Some say that money is the root of all evil 

It's not the love but the lust of it that makes men greedy, ooh 

And you say, "You wanna go for a ride? You gotta pay the fare!" 

So Stop, You aint got no money 

You aint got no beat 

Hooo, Say you 

Got no satisfaction, won't you come and work for me? 

And I say to you 

Can't you see baby, We don't work for free 

You know you gotta live 

But shit they give you stuff for free 

Man these times are hard, Hey! 

Don't nothin' come easy, Heee! 

I just got good news, you wanna come with me? 

Hey, let's go up town, I got something you should see 

And my friends all say to you 

They say 

Got no satisfaction, won't you come and work for me? 

And I say to you 

Can't you see baby, we don't work for free 

Finance, city lights 

You gotta work to afford paradise, huh! 

But if you're living in a glasshouse don't throw no stones, Raah! 

Slave trade, don't get laid 

You gotta get paid if you wanna go places where you've never been before 

O.K Baby, Raah! 

Where you been before, don't matter with me 

Better save your Pennies, Nickels and Dimes 

'Cause we don't work for free, heee 

Yeah! 

I just got good news from the IRS, you wanna come with me? 

C'mon let's go up town babe 'Cause we all drink for free 

He he he he oww 

We Don't Work For Free 

Gotta understand what I mean 

Don't you wanna come with me? 

Can't divide yourself, Let's work for free 

C'mon now and I don't know what to say 

I've got something that you should see 

C'mon baby, gotta come along with me 

'Cause girl I'm ready for you, are you ready for me? 

I'm sure 

And I say to you now 

We don't work for free 

C'mon baby, you gotta come along with me 

'Cause satisfaction is guaranteed 

(We don't work for free) 

Come along now, Girl I'm ready to jam 

C'mon now, you gotta understand what I mean 

(We don't work for free) 

I've got something that you should see 

C'mon baby, you gotta come along with me 

(We don't work for free) 

(We don't work for free) 

C'mon baby, you gotta come along with me 

'Cause satisfaction is guaranteed 

(We don't work for free) 

I'm ready, I'm ready now, c'mon now, here I am 

C'mon now, you gotta understand what I mean 

(We don't work for free) 

I've got something that you should see 

C'mon baby, don't you wanna come along with me 

(We don't work for free) 

I'm ready so tell me are you ready for me? 

(We don't work for free) 

No money, we can't work for free 

(We don't work for free) 

C'mon now you gotta understand what I mean 

(We don't work for free) 

No money, we can't work for free 

(We don't work for free) 

No money, we can't work for free 

(We don't work for free)
