Lloyd Cole - Pay For It 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 pa**ed 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? 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
