From the recording In Pursuit
Lyrics
I hear you creeping through my window
And I don’t care much for where you been
I’d just like to hear from you, darling
Why you think I keep letting you in
No it’s not cause I love you, and I do
No it’s not cause I need you, you know it’s true
It’s cause you’re paying my rent
And I won’t soon forget
That you give me money
And I thank you, honey
For paying my rent
I see you rooting through my kitchen
And I don’t care much for what you want
As long as I don’t speak to you, baby
You’ll take me to a nice restaurant
No it’s not cause you love me, and you do
No it’s not cause you need me, though I know it’s true
It’s cause you’re paying my rent
And I won’t soon forget
That you give me money
And I thank you, honey
For paying my rent
You feel me sneaking under the covers
And I don’t know if you care who I see
Let's just keep our secrets separate now, baby
And you can keep on letting me be
No it’s not cause I love you, I think I do
No it’s not cause I need you, well that much is true
It’s cause you’re paying my rent
And I won’t soon forget
That you give me money
And I thank you, honey
For paying my rent
I thank you, honey
For giving me money
And paying my rent
