Payback Lyrics - Hello, Lisa - Lisa Loeb

Is this how it ends 

Lying in bed, talking to a cheap tape recorder 

Instead of my friends 

In bed with a low grade fever 

They wanted to know, how could I leave you 

I can't tell them that 

It might sound like revenge 

But some things don't need a payback 

Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about 

Is this how it starts 

I was waiting for my head to clear up 

I thought I was smart, I'd find the answers in time 

But the answers I find aren't what you want to hear 

They're not even close

But some things don't need a payback 

Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about 

Some things don't need a clear up 

I remember good things, like the van breaking down 

I sat on your lap in the auto repair 

And you touched my hair 

While the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside 

Don't take revenge 

Just let it lie 

The easiest thing is if you just let it die 

Don't give me a chance 

You don't owe me that 

Don't follow me out 

Unless you're coming for some payback 

But some things don't need a payback 

Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about 

Some things don't need a clear up

Why did I leave 

How long did it take 

It could take forever 

But some things don't need a payback 

You got that?
