Pay It Back

[Verse 1]

Stop, thief, you're gonna come to grief

If you don't take a little more care

You're gonna get more than the family plan

From this one shoestring affair

I may be crazy, but I can't contemplate

Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate

[Chorus]

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

[Verse 2]

And then, they told me I could be somebody

If I didn't let too much get in my way

And I tried so hard just to be myself

But I keep on fading away

And then the lights went out, I didn't know what to do

If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you

[Chorus]

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

[Verse 3]

I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance

Let's not get stuck in the past

I love you more than everything in the world

I don't expect that will last

They told me everything was guaranteed

Somebody somewhere must've lied to me

[Chorus]

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

[Chorus]

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days

One of these days, I'm gonna pay it back

Pay it back one of these days
