[Verse 1: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross]
Boy, when you look at me
Do you judge me by my cover?
Got to be kiddin' me
To think that I'm that kind of lover
I don't mean to disagree
Sorry, you can't buy my kisses
Open your eyes and see
True love comes for free
I'm keepin' my heart open
Hopin' you won't stab me in it
'Cause I've been in love before
And when I had to pay I didn't
I'd lose my sanity
Tryin' to measure your intentions
What do you want from me?
How much will it be?

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross]
No more than you're willin' to give (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin' (Alright)
It's for free
And I won't make you promises
I'll just do all I can
To be your lover 'cause I understand
[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross, Luther solo]
The best things in life are free (Yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
(Don't you know it)
The best things (Yeah) in life are free
Now that we've got each other, the best things in life are free

[Post-Chorus: Luther Vandross & (Janet Jackson)]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey (Come on now)
Uh-huh-huh, hey, yeah, yeah
(Doo doo doo doo doo dah ah)
Alright (Ooh)
I like that (Yeah)
Now, Janet (Ooh, Luther)

[Verse 2: Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Both]
I know you are my baby
My one and only baby
You said it twice, I'll say it thrice
My baby, baby, baby
I've got so much love for you (Yeah, yeah)
And it's easy to give it
When I know you feel the same way too (Yeah, yeah)
That's all I expect from you
Just do all that you can
To be my lover 'cause I understand
I do (Hoo), I do (Hoo, hoo)
They say...
[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross, Luther solo]
The best things (Yeah) in life are free (Yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (I've discovered)
The best things in life are free
Now that we've got each other, the best things in life are free
The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we've got each other, the best things in life are free

[Verse 3: Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Ralph Tresvant]
Sister sister kickin' all that jazz (Yeah)
You funny, honey, want what you never had (Yeah)
A lot of bone structure, I can make it last
A minute to win it, I deep fill the past
Yeah, material, imperial, so get the info
You know, I know, it's not about the dough
So maybe baby, if you want to be my lady
I'll forget the riches and the other itches
Mo' money, mo' money, Jam & Lewis here we go
Mo' money, mo' money, Luther, Janet here we go
Mo' money, mo' money, Biv, DeVoe, here we go, Ralph T
The best things in life are for free

[Bridge: Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Both]
(Mhm) Free, baby (Yeah)
No more than you're willin' to give (Willin' to give)
'Cause you won't pay me nothin' for this good lovin'
It's for free
And I won't make you promises
You see, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, we're gonna be, I'm gonna do
The very best I can
To be your lover 'cause I understand

[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross, Luther solo]
The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we've got each other, the best things in life are free
