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 every 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 the 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
