I Don’t Owe You Anything (1983 rehearsal recording) Songtext
von The Smiths

Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next

Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next

Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say
Oh, I don′t want to go out tonight
Oh, I don't want to go out tonight

Oh, but you will, for you must
I don′t owe you anything, no
But you owe me something
Repay me now


You should never go to them
Let them come to you
Just like I do
Just like I do

You should not go to them
Let them come to you
Just like I do
Just like I do

Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say
Oh, I don't want to go out tonight
Oh, I don't want to go out tonight

But you will, for you must
I don′t owe you anything, no
But you owe me something
Repay me now
Too freely on your lips
Words prematurely sad
Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight
Life is never kind
Life is never kind
Oh, but I know what will make you smile tonight
