Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Flowers won't work this time
I appreciate the kind gesture
But if you just do better, that'd be fine
Empty promises
That won't work in this instance
But if you'd just listen, that'd be nice
[PreChorus]
'Cause this is 50/50, baby
Start paying me what's mine
On a good day, darling, I'm only getting 25
[Chorus]
You can't pay me back in sorry
Can't pay me back with what you say
All those pretty words lose meaning
If I'm still lonely the next day
Can't pay me back with breakfast in bed or a Sunday matinée
The only thing that'll settle this debt is if you pay me back in change
[Verse 2]
I'm so damn broke on love
You'd better cough it up
Hold me
Then hold me again
You owe me at least that much
[PreChorus]
'Cause this is 50/50, baby
Start paying me what's mine
On a good day, darling, I'm only getting 25
[Chorus]
You can't pay me back in sorry
Can't pay me back with what you say
All those pretty words lose meaning
If I'm still lonely the next day
Can't pay me back with breakfast in bed or a Sunday matinée
The only thing that'll settle this debt is if you pay me back in change
I need you to change
Pay me back in change
[Bridge]
Pennies, quarters, nickels, dimes
Start to add up over time
The little things are a damn goldmine
If you want to keep me in your life
[Chorus]
You can't pay me back in sorry
Can't pay me back with what you say
All those pretty words lose meaning
If I'm still lonely the next day
Can't pay me back with breakfast in bed or a Sunday matinée
The only thing that'll settle this debt is if you pay me back in change
