Lyrics
Hell-To-Pay
-------------------
15 years ago, fear kept him from the Truth
Wild and crazy, as he partied away his youth.
I knew that I, could teach him right from wrong
And how I seen, that he could never be too strong.
Bridge -
Then he walked back in my life one day
(It Took me by surprise) whisper
He said these words that I'm about to say...
(As he looked me in the eyes) whisper
Chorus - Guy
I don't want to be behind you
I don't want to be above you
There's something more in here for you to see
Keep your head, keep your heart right beside me.
Chorus - Girl
Now, I snap my fingers.
You'll do what I say,
you play me wrong, you'll have hell-to-pay!
I snap my fingers, you do what I say, you play me wrong,
you'll have... hell-to-pay!
Verse/Girl
On condition love, leads us to separate roads.
Our past, present, future will somehow soon be told.
God! It feels like yesterday, and life passed by so fast.
Soon our roads will join together & someday it will last.
