Pay It Back Lyrics - My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello

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 buy I can't contemplate 

Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate 

Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back 

Pay it back one of these days 

Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back 

Pay it back one of these days

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

But I keep on fading away 

And then the lights went out, I didn't know what to do 

If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you 

Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back 

Pay it back one of these days 

Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back 

Pay it back one of these days 

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

Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back 

Pay it back one of these days 

Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back 

Pay it back one of these days
