| I think I posted just the chorus of this a couple years ago (that's all I had!). Finally got around to fleshing it out into a full set of lyrics. As always, feedback is appreciated. You guys are my only outlet! Vin You Pay for What You Get Another unanswered phone call, pretending you’re not home But the car that’s in your driveway speaks the truth, You’re not alone Two shadows in the window, making nice like shadows do I wonder if she smells at all my shadow’s scent on you You asked me for my name and number I gave you so much more I took you home and made you whole, When you were half a man with her I didn’t ask for your commitment I know its somewhere else But honey I’m no broken toy Sitting quiet on the shelf We said “no strings” but there’s no such thing Be warned, boy, and never forget: Nobody rides for free anymore, And you pay for what you get What kind of lies did you tell her, so you could lie with me? And how’d you strike that girl so blind That she just couldn’t see? But she’s pretty when she’s sleeping, such a pity to disturb Its only you and I now, boy, we get what we deserve Don’t ask me what’s inside the box Your secret’s safe with me. Just brace yourself and peek inside And tell me what you see. They’re pieces of the heart you broke Although she never knew. There was a man of her dreams and a man in my bed And both of them were you We said “no strings,” just a one-night fling, But this night isn’t over quite yet Nobody ride’s for free anymore And you pay for what you get No, even the first taste ain’t free anymore And you pay for what you get! Don’t look so surprised, and boy don’t you cry You’re only reaping the seeds that you’ve sown You can’t straddle two fences without consequences, Comeuppance will find you for all your offenses, Even the ones you disown. And she’s so pretty when she’s sleeping Remember her that way She’s better off than both of us And that’s just how she’ll stay | |
