I spent fifteen hundred dollars on your damn dog's collar Put new spinners on your Escalade I swear I almost started cryin' When you brought up buyin' diamonds Lord I'm spending more than I'm getting paid You got more purses than Versace Got more rings that Liberace Fill your closest full of fancy shoes All my credit cards are cookin' Girl you don't know what your puttin' me through It's a business doing pleasure, a business doing pleasure with you You got me walkin' past the fellas Holdin' drinks with pink umbrellas On some island that I can't even spell Then we slide over to Gucci Right before we go for sushi That's a version of my personal hell You just spent all day long trying on Louis Vitton There's a thousand things that I'd rather do Lord my mom would beat me senseless If she saw what I was spending on you It's a business doing pleasure, a business doing pleasure with you Your gonna break my bank before too long I'm taking out a loan But when you turn your kind of lovin' on Honey I just can't say no, no no no no no no Your gonna break my bank before too long I'm running out of dough But when you turn your kind of magic on Honey I just can't say no, no no no Maybe I'll play the stock market Put some money in my pocket Ain't no telling what your gonna need next I need to steal a Sherman tank Just to break into a bank I pray to God this song will be a success All my buddies think it's funny 'Cause I'm spending all my money On some honey like there's something to prove 'Cause for a little of your lovin' There ain't nothing much that I wouldn't do It's a business doing pleasure, a business doing pleasure with you No no no no It's a business doing pleasure, a business doing pleasure with you
