Lloyd Cole - Pay For It lyrics

rate me

strange to see you babe, ain't nothing down here free

did you lose your ticket, hope you weren't looking for me

now i'm still wearing the scars i got from being your fool

you messed me up pretty good babe i didn't mean to rule you

remember when i first saw you babe you were looking pretty good

said you were looking for love, well then why didn't you

you just sat there taking everything you could get

never thought one day you might have to pay for it

well did you ever dream baby one day you might fall

and feel your back against the wall

well did you ever dream baby one day you might crawl

did you ever dream

now when you're putting on your face i guess that you feel kinda low

knowing that you passed your best and you got nothing to show

well baby you know just as well as i some fool is gonna fall your way

only this time around you might have to pay for it

well did you ever dream baby one day you might fall

and feel your back against the wall

well did you ever dream baby one day you might crawl

that's what i said

did you ever dream, baby

when you had no need, baby

did you ever dream

that you might have to pay for it

i do believe that you might have to pay now

well did you ever dream baby one day you might fall

yeah and feel your back against the wall

well did you ever dream baby one day you might crawl

(improvise)

strange to see you baby

mmm strange, very strange

'cause you messed me up good

yes you messed me up

messed me up pretty good now didn't you baby

mmm, took me a long time, to get back here

but i swear i didn't mean to rule you

yeah i swear i didn't mean to rule you

how do you mend what you didn't mean to do

'cause i swear i didn't mean it

i swear i didn't mean it

and i swear i didn't, swear i didn't mean to

swear i didn't mean to rule you

i swear, but you messed me up

you know that you messed me up good, do you now

you messed me up good, yes you did

yes you did now now, baby

'cause i'm looking at you now

and you're paying now, yes you are now

i swear, and you never dreamed that

and you never dreamed that

no you never dreamed that

but you're paying now

mmm you never dreamed that

mmm i'm looking right at you now

and you're paying now, yes you are
