Lyrics
Love Don?t Pay the Rent
©2004 by Jim Huffman
Well I may be down
But certainly not out
Still not really clear from the debts and all the doubts
Broken love it has no cure
But this I know for sure
Next time I?ll marry for the clout
Next time I?ll fall for the money
Pay back all the debt that I?ve been lent
Next time I?ll fall for the money
Lord knows that love don?t pay the rent
I?ll walk with you
When the moon is shining bright
Gaze up at the stars
And dine by candlelight
Your heart may beat with mine
Now there?s a bottom line
Show me trust funds, the rest will be just fine
Lord knows that love
Won?t pay for that new car
Won?t pay the hefty mortgage
No love won?t get you far
The rules have all be been
You and I misspent
Lord knows that love don?t pay the rent
There may be hearts
That have grown too cold from love
Yet there may be hearts
Made of gold from above
I?m not saying that I can?t
Be touched by sentiment
But Lord knows that love don?t pay the rent
