Lyrics

Bought and Paid For Pearson/ 3.24




Gave up my home
Came to this suburban scene
Tree line streets
Two cars in the driveway dream
He thought it was just enough
I get to wash the kitchen floor
It’s bought and paid for baby
How come you want more?

I was out walking
One day, and he heard me sing
Sidled up and whispered low
You can go, do most anything
I’m a woman with a family
Toiling for these twenty odd years
‘Scuse me, while I collect myself
And check those fears




CHORUS 1




(But it’s the truth) Bought and paid for baby
(What’s the use) I’m thinking to myself
(You got to move) I can’t take it anymore
I was somebody else
Ain’t that the truth? It’s bought and paid for baby
Look at you Skippin’ like I wanna dance
You got to groove Out on the dance floor baby
Some kinda seismic romance




A Pennsylvania shack
Let the kids run wild
I ‘ll grow pumpkins
Hunt with bow and arrow and I’ll
Go out in style
We’ll have a fire at night
A little music to stay in the groove
It’s bought and paid for baby
Baby now that I got you















(BRIDGE)




He’s a man on a mission baby,
And that mission is me
I was thinking we were fools in love
And maybe we should let it be
Then I see a heart so soft
And I look up in his eyes of blue
Now it’s bought and paid for baby
And I bought you.




As we grow old
Misgivings are a thing of the past
People said this teenage flirtation
No way it’s gonna last
Well you can all think what you want
I’m hitching myself to this star
It’s bought and paid for
Paid for with my life so far


CHORUS

(It’s the truth) It’s bought and paid for baby
(Yes it’s the truth) I’m thinking to myself
(Ah the truth) Bought and paid for now
Now I’m somebody else
Ain’t that the truth) It’s bought and paid for
(Look at you) Skipping like I wanna dance
(You got to groove) Out on the dance floor baby
A second chance
