Flowers won't work this time
I appreciate the kind gesture
But if you just do better
That'd be fine
Empty promises
That won't work in this instance
But if you'd just listen
That'd be nice
'Cause this is 50/50, baby
Start paying me what's mine
On a good day, darling
I'm only getting 25
You can't pay me back in sorry
Can't pay me back with what you say
All those pretty words lose meaning
If I'm still lonely the next day
Can't pay me back with breakfast in bed
Or a Sunday matinee
The only thing that'll settle this debt
Is if you pay me back in change
I'm so damn broke on love
You better cough it up
Hold me
Then hold me again, you owe
Me at least that much
'Cause this is 50/50, baby
Start paying me what's mine
On a good day, darling
I'm only getting 25
You can't pay me back in sorry
Can't pay me back with what you say
All those pretty words lose meaning
If I'm still lonely the next day
Can't pay me back with breakfast in bed
Or a Sunday matinee
The only thing that'll settle this debt
Is if you pay me back in change
I need you to change
Pay me back in change
Pennies, quarters
Nickels, dimes
Start to add up over time
The little things are a damn gold mine
If you want to keep me in your life
You can't pay me back in sorry
Can't pay me back with what you say
All those pretty words lose meaning
If I'm still lonely the next day
Can't pay me back with breakfast in bed
Or a Sunday matinee
The only thing that'll settle this debt
Is if you pay me back in change
