Baby used to stay out all night long. She made me cry, you know she done me wrong. She held my eyes open and that's no lie. Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry.
If only I'd have listened to all of my closest friends. and knew that it was over and the party had to end. If only I'd have noticed the sadness in her eyes.
Time to pay the rent baby. Gotta try and work harder. Really goin' nowhere fast. You're not really goin' much farther. Gotta take a break baby. Try and make my load lighter.
I WOKE UP TODAY WITH A HEADACHE. MORE BILLS TO PAY THAN A CORPORATION. HEY, WHEN WILL IT END. MY MIRROR SAYS I COULD USE A BREAK. AN EASY DAY, SOME APPRECIATION.
Time to pay the rent, baby, gotta try and work harder. Really goin' nowhere fast, you're not goin' much farther. Gotta take a break, baby, try and make my load lighter.
