[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
You're gonna make me pay for it
You're gonna make me wait for it
You're gonna make me pay for it now
You're gonna make me pay for it
You're gonna make me wait for it
You're gonna make me pay for it now

[Verse 1: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
Well l made our bread, and I laid out clothes
And I made our bed when you finally rose
And I, I was never alone
And then when, again
You were held on hold
Well I held your head while I caught cold
And I, baby I should've known

[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
You're gonna make me pay for it
You're gonna make me wait for it
You're gonna make me pay for it now
You're gonna make me pay for it
You're gonna make me wait for it
You're gonna make me pay for it now

[Verse 2: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
And in the end, when you'd had enough
I said "Call your friend," so you called my bluff and more
Down at the package store
Do you think it's tough?
Do you think it's bad?
Have you had it rough?
Well I've been had before
And baby, I know the score
You're gonna make me pay for it now

[Bridge: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
And maybe it's all in the way we
Have been brought up, when we get so caught up
In what kindness hides behind its face and how

[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
You're gonna make me pay for it now
You're gonna make me wait for it now

You're gonna make me pay for it
You're gonna make me wait for it
You're gonna make me pay for it now
