I.O.U.

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.

Wipe that smile off your face

That won't save you today

No use shouting for help

'Cause my boys are blocking your way

Because we're IOU

IOU play must you

I said I-O-U

You knew footsie was old

You knew she's be alone

But now her father is old

'Cause he would smile if he saw you pose

Because we're IOU

IOU play must you

I said I-O-U

Now don't give me that jive

You sure knew she was mine

But we'll soon put this thing straight

With a good old bunch of fives

Because we're IOU

IOU play must you

I said I-O-U

IOU, just for you

I said IOU, just for you
