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 tor 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
