I pay rent on a run-down place There ain't no view but there's lots of space In my heart, the heart that you own
I pay the rent, pay it right on time Baby I pay you ever single dime For my heart, the heart that you own
Used to be I could love here for free Way back before you bought the property Now I pay daily on what once was mine Lord I probably owe you for these tears that I cry
'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place There ain't no view but there's lots of space In my heart, the heart that you own
I struggle each night to find a new way To pay what I owe just so I can stay I ain't overdue so you can't throw me out I've loved here for years don't know where I'd go now
'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place There ain't no view but there's lots of space In my heart, the heart that you own
