[Intro: Janet Jackson]
Are you ready? Woo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
The best things in life are free, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Free, baby, mmm

[Verse 1: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross]
Boy, when you look at me (Boy)
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
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 {Uh-uh}
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
(Do do do do do 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 be 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]
The best things (Yeah) in life are free (Yeah)
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (I 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

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Both]
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 be
The very best I can
To be your lover 'cause I understand

[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross]
The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me (Now hold it, hold it wait a minute
I still don't think they've got it
Let's tell 'em one more time, check it out
Everybody, everybody needs to know that...)
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
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
