Yeah, girl...

I wanna know the reasons behind

I mean, what are your motives for this one?

It ain't for the money right?

Huh yeah



[Verse 1:]

What if I lived in poverty?

Ain't no money in my pocket and no food to eat

Would you, would you, would you still

Feel the way you saying you feel for me

If I was weak

If the going gets rough, if I'm stuck now

Would you, would you, would you still

Stick around and really be there for me (come on)



[Hook:]

Before we go any further

I gotta know, I gotta know, I know what your motives are

How deep are your emotions for me

Are you in it for the long run, long run

Or just another actor tryna play your part



[Chorus: x2]

Are you in it for the love

Or in it for the money, money

In it for the glamour, glamour, glitter and the gold

Are you in it for the love

Don't take me for a dummy, dummy

It may sound funny but I need to know



[Verse 2:]

What if I lost my property

And we couldn't afford to live in luxury

Would you, would you, would you still?

Stick around and really take care of me

Honestly, would you pack your bags, get up and leave or

Would you, would you, would you still?

Hold the fort down and be my queen



[Hook:]

Before we go in the further

I gotta know, I gotta know, I know what your motives are

How deep are your emotions for me

Are you in it for the long run, long run

Or just another actor tryna play your part



[Chorus: x2]

Are you in it for the love

Or in it for the money, money

In it for the glamour, glamour, glitter and the gold

Are you in it for the love

Don't take me for a dummy, dummy

It may sound funny but I need to know



[Bridge:]

Tell me what you're really feeling baby

Speak up, don't be shady

Go ahead, speak your mind, girl I wanna know what you and me had

Tell me what you're really feeling baby

Speak up, don't be shady

Go ahead, speak your mind, girl I wanna know what you and me had

Yeah, shh, just be honest with me, be honest



[Chorus: x2]

Are you in it for the love

Or in it for the money, money

In it for the glamour, glamour, glitter and the gold

Are you in it for the love

Don't take me for a dummy, dummy

It may sound funny but I need to know



Girl I need to know...
