Cash in Your Face Lyrics

...CASH IN YOUR FACE... by Stevie Wonder
*from 'Hotter Than July' (1980)*
Intro:
Verse 1:
You just could not know,
How long we tried,
To see how this building,
Looks inside.
This must be a lucky day for me,
Because the sign says,
There's a vacancy.
Bridge 1:
Look I know you came a long way,
But you made it just too late;
So we had to give it to some-body else.
Well I talked to you on the phone,
Less than fifteen minutes ago;
And you told me that it was cool.
Verse 2:
I graduated from Harvard U.
My job is paying good money too.
And if you check on my resume;
You'll find they all,
Wanted me to stay.
Bridge 2:
Well I can't take the time out,
To check your credit card,
'Cos the com-puter,
Just broke down to-day.
Well I'll stop by here tomorrow,
To com-plete our interview,
But I know what you're gonna say.
(I know what your bottomline is);
Chorus 1:
You might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.
Say you might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.
Break:
Too-oo, too-oo...
Too bad.
Too-oo, too-oo..
Too sad.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
Our first child,
Is due here any day;
Due here any day,
That's why we're desperate,
For a place to stay.
The lo-cation is,
So perfect too,
So please try to do,
What you can do.
Bridge 3:
Well in this apartment complex,
No children are allowed;
And if you told me that,
I could have saved you a-lot of time.
Well I thought the Bill was passed,
That said you could not discriminate?
But I know some ex-cuse you'll find.
(Because your bottom line is);
Chorus 2:
You might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.
Say you might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.
Coda:
Aye, you might be a great doctor,
You might be a great lawyer.
You might possess the key to the city,
Or maybe a poli-tician.
You might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.
Say you might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.
(Repeat to Fade)
