Pay For It Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

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 passed 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
