Pay For It - Lyrics by Lloyd Cole


Lyrics
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
