Something In 4/4 Time
Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates
Sooner or later it's a matter of money
And then it's just a matter of time
You can say you don't care and you think it's funny
But baby it's your life on the line
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
Continue to dream after you're robbed of sleep
even though the images fade
So grab what you can and all you can keep
Do you really think you'll come out unhurt?
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
And then it's just a matter of time
You can say you don't care and you think it's funny
But baby it's your life on the line
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
Continue to dream after you're robbed of sleep
even though the images fade
So grab what you can and all you can keep
Do you really think you'll come out unhurt?
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
