I'll pay the check
Without complaining
I'll pay the check
I'm entertaining

This little breeze 
Was what I prayed for
But it must be paid for
By me

Please don't forget
You owe me nothing
Have no regret
You are free

I've nothing in store
I'm headed for
The most enormous wreck
But this is my party
I'll pay the check

How long can this strange thing last
I'm getting nowhere and getting there fast
I love you you don't love me
But when it's over you'll see that

I'll pay the check
I'll pay the check
I'm entertaining

This little breeze 
Was what I prayed for
But it must be paid for
By me

Please don't forget
You owe me nothing

I've nothing in store
I'm headed for
The most enormous wreck
But this is my party
I'll pay the check
