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 rent, pay it right on time
Baby I pay you every single dime
E Bw E E'
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 these 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
Yeah In my heart, the heart that you own
