Well I thought we had a deal that was supposed to work out right
Just imagine how I feel when I go turn out the light
Now you say it wasn't real didn't think that was your style
Well I thought we had a deal like the one we had a while
[ steel ]
It's a lot of my concern though you feel it's not my place
But I don't know where to turn now that I don't see your face
Well you taught me how to steal that wasn't very nice
Well I thought we had a deal now who's gonna pay the price
I thought we had a deal now who's gonna pay the price
Now who's gonna pay the price
