Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's something that I wanna give you
I've gonna give you a five pound box of love
With a million dollar bill on top
(Million dollar bill on top)
Diamonds on every corner
And a big black pearl for a lock
[Verse 2]
Use my heart for a key
I wanna pay you back
(I wanna pay you back)
I wanna pay you back for loving me
Pay you back for loving me
[Verse 3]
Gonna give you a cloud of love to sleep on
A determined man to rely on
Love around every corner
Or wherever you might be
[Verse 4]
Hold you tight but tenderly
Hold you tight but tender
I wanna pay you back
(I wanna pay you back)
I wanna pay you back for loving me
Me, me, me
[Verse 5]
What's the use in denying it, baby?
What's the use in us fighting it, baby?
What's the use in turning away?
When we could be happy
Each and every day, day, day, day
[Verse 6]
Oh, I see heaven when we look into the mirror
And an angel when you're asleep
Bright sunshine in the morning
Though it may be raining in the street
[Verse 7]
And now I'm gonna even the score
I wanna pay you back
(I wanna pay you back)
I wanna pay you back for loving me
Pay you back for loving me
[Verse 8]
I wanna pay you back
(I wanna pay you back)
I wanna pay you back for loving me
I wanna pay you back
(I wanna pay you back)
I wanna pay you back for loving me
