"I Don't Owe You Anything"
Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next
Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next
Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say
Oh, I don't want to go out tonight
Oh, I don't want to go out tonight
Oh, but you will, for you must
I don't owe you anything, no
But you owe me something
Repay me now
You should never go to them
Let them come to you
Just like I do
Just like I do
You should not go to them
Let them come to you
Just like I do
Just like I do
Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say
Oh, I don't want to go out tonight
Oh, I don't want to go out tonight
But you will, for you must
I don't owe you anything, no
But you owe me something
Repay me now
Too freely on your lips
Words prematurely sad
Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight
Life is never kind
Life is never kind
Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight
