Lyrics

Stop, thief, you're gonna come to grief If you don't take a little more care You're gonna get more than the family plan From this one shoestring affair I may be crazy buy I can't contemplate Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days And then they told me I could be somebody If I didn't let too much get in my way And I tried so hard just to be myself But I keep on fading away And then the lights went out, I didn't know what to do If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance Let's not get stuck in the past I love you more than everything in the world I don't expect that will last They told me everything was guaranteed Somebody, somewhere, must've lied to me Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days Once of these days, I'm gonna pay it back Pay it back one of these days
