[Intro]
"You dress me up
I'm your puppet
You buy me things
I love it
You bring me food
I need it
You give me love
I feed it"
[Verse 1]
And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it's easy
You buy whatever I need
[Chorus]
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Verse 2]
You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are
[Chorus]
We never ever argue, we never calculate
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Interlude]
"I'm your puppet
I love it"
[Verse 3]
And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When you're lying next to me
[Chorus]
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Outro]
(It's easy, it's so easy)
I love you, you pay my rent
(It's easy, it's so easy)
You pay my rent
(It's easy, it's so easy)
Pay my rent
