[Verse 1]
Oh no, you didn't (Hey, aha)
You didn't just go there (Hey, aha, yeah-ha)
Keep pullin' at the thread pretty soon
You're gonna unleash what's in here
Oh no, you didn't (Hey, aha)
You didn't push me again (Hey, aha, yeah-ha)
I got a memory like an elephant
Honey, I never forget
[Chorus]
They call me the collector (Ooh)
'Cause they know I'm keepin' tabs
They call me the collector (Ooh)
'Cause they know I'm comin' back
[Verse 3]
Oh no, you didn't (Hey, aha)
You didn't just do that (Hey, aha, yeah-ha)
Keep tuggin' at the line
Pretty soon you'rе gonna
Regret what you catch
Oh no, you didn't (Hey, aha)
You didn't try that again (Hеy, aha, yeah-ha)
I got a little book in my heart
Where names like yours get written down in red
[Chorus]
They call me the collector (Ooh)
'Cause they know I'm keepin' tabs
They call me the collector (Ooh)
'Cause they know I'll never lose track
And when the day comes, honey
To collect my rent money
I'll be back
(Hey, aha)
(Hey, aha, yeah-ha)
[Bridge]
I got everythin' you owe me etched into my soul
Under these bruises and blood is an animal
And the crevices you cut were so deep
But now the dark, dark water's gatherin'
[Chorus]
They call me the collector (Ooh)
'Cause they know I'm keepin' tabs
They call me the collector (Ooh)
'Cause they know I'm comin' back
So if you think you're better
I dare you, fella
Yeah, I dare you fella
Find out why they call me the collector
[Outro]
(Hey, aha)
(Hey, aha, yeah-ha)
(Hey, aha, yeah-ha)
(Hey)
