Yeah, girl...
I wanna know the reasons behind
I mean, what are your motives for this one?
It ain't for the money right?
Huh yeah
[Verse 1:]
What if I lived in poverty?
Ain't no money in my pocket and no food to eat
Would you, would you, would you still
Feel the way you saying you feel for me
If I was weak
If the going gets rough, if I'm stuck now
Would you, would you, would you still
Stick around and really be there for me (come on)
[Hook:]
Before we go any further
I gotta know, I gotta know, I know what your motives are
How deep are your emotions for me
Are you in it for the long run, long run
Or just another actor tryna play your part
[Chorus: x2]
Are you in it for the love
Or in it for the money, money
In it for the glamour, glamour, glitter and the gold
Are you in it for the love
Don't take me for a dummy, dummy
It may sound funny but I need to know
[Verse 2:]
What if I lost my property
And we couldn't afford to live in luxury
Would you, would you, would you still?
Stick around and really take care of me
Honestly, would you pack your bags, get up and leave or
Would you, would you, would you still?
Hold the fort down and be my queen
[Hook:]
Before we go in the further
I gotta know, I gotta know, I know what your motives are
How deep are your emotions for me
Are you in it for the long run, long run
Or just another actor tryna play your part
[Chorus: x2]
Are you in it for the love
Or in it for the money, money
In it for the glamour, glamour, glitter and the gold
Are you in it for the love
Don't take me for a dummy, dummy
It may sound funny but I need to know
[Bridge:]
Tell me what you're really feeling baby
Speak up, don't be shady
Go ahead, speak your mind, girl I wanna know what you and me had
Tell me what you're really feeling baby
Speak up, don't be shady
Go ahead, speak your mind, girl I wanna know what you and me had
Yeah, shh, just be honest with me, be honest
[Chorus: x2]
Are you in it for the love
Or in it for the money, money
In it for the glamour, glamour, glitter and the gold
Are you in it for the love
Don't take me for a dummy, dummy
It may sound funny but I need to know
Girl I need to know...
