Rent

Lyrics:

You dress me up


I’m your puppet


You buy me things


I love it


You bring me food


I need it


You give me love


I feed it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
 with everything we see


I never want anything, it’s easy, 
you buy whatever I need


But look at my hopes, look at my dreams, 
the currency we’ve spent


I love you, you pay my rent


I love you, you pay my rent 

I love you, you pay my rent 

You phoned me in the evening on hearsay
, and bought me caviar


You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
 to tell me who you are


We never, ever argue, we never calculate 
the currency we’ve spent


I love you, you pay my rent 


I love you, you pay my rent

I’m your puppet


I love it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
 and sometimes ecstasy


Words mean so little and money less
 when you’re lying next to me


But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
 the currency we’ve spent


I love you, you pay my rent


I love you, you pay my rent
