[Verse 1]
Every day now I hear people say
My ship is sailing, could be any day
Any day now, it might not feel so blue
My baby tells me, "Stop and look around
If you ain't careful, boy, you're trouble bound
Run home for cover and you might not find none there"

[Chorus]
She said, "There ain't no money in this runnin' around
You can't make money stayin' at home
Yeah, and there ain't no future in the way that it feels today
Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money in the ones that you really love"

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
No running around or staying at home

[Verse 2]
I try and tell 'em, baby, straight and true
No love, no money tells you what to do
You're born to ramble, baby, that's what I was, too
Just breaking even, even if I lose
Old lucky seven put its hold on you
But I got your number, baby, any way you move
[Chorus]
Baby, there ain't no money and that's for sure
Ain't no money behind those doors
There ain't no trouble that a poor man won't go through
Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money
Baby, there ain't no money in the ones that you really love
Baby, there ain't no money in the ones that you really love

[Bridge]
No running around or staying at home
