  • You dress me up, I'm your puppet
    You buy me things, I love it
    You bring me food, I need it
    You give me love, I feed it

    And look at the two of us in sympathy
    With everything we see
    I never want anything, it's easy
    You buy whatever I need

    But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
    The currency we've spent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent

    You phone me in the evening on hearsay
    And bought me caviar
    You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
    To tell me who you are

    We never-ever argue, we never calculate
    The currency we've spent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent

    I'm your puppet
    I love it

    And look at the two of us in sympathy
    And sometimes ecstasy
    Words mean so little, and money less
    When you're lying next to me

    But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
    The currency we've spent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent

    Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
    The currency we've spent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent

    Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
    The currency we've spent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent
    I love you, you pay my rent (It's easy, it's so easy)
    You pay my rent (It's easy, it's so easy)
    You pay my rent (It's easy, it's so easy)
    I love you (It's easy, it's so easy)
    (It's easy, it's so easy)
    (It's easy, it's so easy)
    (It's easy, it's so easy)
    (It's easy, it's so easy)
    (It's easy, it's so easy)
    (It's easy, it's so easy)
