[Intro: Neil Tennant]
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: Neil Tennant]
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: Neil Tennant]
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: Neil Tennant]
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: Neil Tennant]
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: Neil Tennant]
I'm your puppet
I love it

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
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: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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: Neil Tennant]
(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
