Wages
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm only looking
I have my heart set on our home
Like saving Steven, and anxious Ann
Sounds like a scam
Gonna get ripped off
Gonna do it again
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
Now, I ain't sulking
I'm just too sober to dance
Ain't John Travolta, and you ain't Sandy
A story you know, honey, I made it up
Going through it again
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
I've got that cold, cold coffee, yeah
I'm under cover with it
I got that cold, cold coffee, yeah
I'm under cover 'cause I don't wanna be like them
(I wanna be like them)
I got that cold, cold coffee, yeah
I'm under cover 'cause I don't, wanna be like them
(I wanna be like them)
I got this cold, cold coffee, yeah
I'm under cover and I don't, wanna be like them
(I wanna be like them)
Your mum's got cold, cold coffee
'Cause she's under cover
And she don't wanna be like them
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
Wrong guy paying my wages
My patience is paper thin
