[Chorus]
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you

[Verse 1]
Baby, through all the ups and down
You were a lady
I wanna show you how I love you
Baby, deserve the very best
And I, I'll give it to you, only you

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I show you that
Only you satisfy everything that you do
Baby girl, anything that you want
I'll give to you, just promise me forever, boo

[Chorus]
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you

[Verse 2]
Baby, I can't imagine life without you
With me, I never want to be without you
Baby, I want you to believe it's true
All that I do, I do for you

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I show you that
Only you could satisfy, everything that you do
Anything that you want I'll give to you
Just promise me forever, boo

[Chorus]
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you

[Bridge]
Don't know why you stayed by my side for so long
So I dedicate, baby, in every way
All my heart and soul
It all belongs to you

[Chorus]
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you, babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl, I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me, babe
Here's life without you

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
