Elvis Costello – Pay It Back Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: My Aim Is True

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.

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,
[ Pay It Back lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/pay-it-back/ ]
but I keep on fading away.
Until the lights went out, I didn^,t know what to do.
If I could fool myself, then maybe I^,d fool you too.

[Chorus]

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].
