[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
"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
