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 ever 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 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

Yea, my heart, the heart that you own
