"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
