I don't have what it takes to stay with you
And I'm leaving in under ten days, it's not what I'd planned
But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go
I won't find anyone who loves me enough to make you look bad
All the cars on the road are driving away from here
But I'm still looking under my nose to see who I am
But anywhere I go, standing at any kind of show
I won't find anyone who'll tell me what I need to know

That's not how it's done
But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go
I won't find anyone who loves me enough
If I ever pay you back
If my money and wallet's intact
I'll probably be in a box lying down
Loosely suited in black
If I ever pay you back
If my money and wallet's intact
I'll probably be in a box lying down
Loosely suited in black
Loosely suited in black
Loosely suited in black

If I Ever Pay You Back Lyrics
