Pay It Back — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Stop thief; youre gonna come to grief

If you dont take a little more care.

Youre gonna get more than the family plan

From this one shoestring affair.

I may be crazy but I cant contemplate

Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate.



One of these days Im gonna pay it back, pay it back,

One of these days.

One of these days Im gonna pay it back, pay it back,

One of these days.



And then they told me I could be somebody

If I didnt let too much get in my way.

And I tried so hard just to be myself,

But I keep on fading away.

Until the lights went out, I didnt know what to do.

If I could fool myself, then maybe Id fool you too.



Chorus



I wouldnt say that I was raised on romance.

Lets not get stuck in the past.

I love you more than everything in the world.

I dont expect that will last.

They told me everything was guaranteed.

Somebody somewhere mustve lied to me.



Chorus.
