Opportunities (1984 Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've had enough of scheming
And messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside
I’m afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question:
Do you want to be rich?

[Chorus]
I’ve got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money

[Verse 2]
You know I'm educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
To plan the perfect crime
If you've got the inclination
I’ve got the time
[Chorus]
I’ve got the brains, you've got the looks
Let’s make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money

[Bridge]
Oh, there’s a lot of opportunities
If you know where to take them
You know, there's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't you can make them

[Chorus]
I've got the brain, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brain
Let's make lots of money

I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
I've got the brains, you've got the brawn
Let's make lots of money

[Verse 3]
You can see I'm single-minded
I know what I could be
How'd you feel about it?
Come, take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner
Regardless of expense
Think about it seriously
You know it makes sense
[Chorus]
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brain
Let's make lots of money

[Outro]
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of money

Oooh-oohh
