Do You Owe Me

You Ask What Do You Owe Me
And My Answer's Very Fair
Your Debt Is Absolutely Nothing
Unless the Love Is There

And If You Really Love Me
The Price Is Very High
Then You'll Owe Me Everything
The Debt Is Higher than the Sky

Love Me in the Mornings
 and Especially at Night
Make Me Feel Needed
And I'll Be You Guiding Light

I'll Soothe Your Jagged Nerves
And Rub Your Aching Back
I'll Wash Your Dirty Socks
And Keep You Right on Track

I'll Proudly Stand Beside You
And Defend You to the Death
And I Will Say I Love You
With My Dying Breath

But If You Have No Love for Me
Please Just Go Away
Because You Owe Me Nothing
And We Have No More to Say
