I pay rent on a run-down place There ain't no view but there's lots of space In my heart The heart that you own I pay the rent Pay it right on time Baby I pay you every single dime For my heart The heart that you own Used to be I could love here for free Way back before you bought the property Now I pay daily on what once was mine Lord I probably owe you For the tears that I cry 'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place There ain't no view but there's lots of space In my heart The heart that you own I struggle each night to find a new way To pay what I owe Just so I can stay I ain't overdue So you can't throw me out I've loved here for years Don't know where I'd go now 'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place There ain't no view but there's lots of space In my heart The heart that you own In my heart, the heart that you own
