Paying Off The Interest With My Tears

You said that you'd be mine and we signed that dotted line I thought that we'd be happy, you and me If I had only known your love was just a loan For now you're asking me to set you free I never thought your kisses were like a charge you count That I'd have to pay in heartaches for taking my amount I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years But I'm paying off the interest with my tears It's the expiration date, you say there's no rebate And I guess you'll say my heart is overdrawn Another love you chose so my account is closed And now, I'll have an empty heart at home My credit's discontinued, you say there's someone new To take over all the payments on a heart that's over you I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years But I'm paying off the interest with my tears I didn't understand your easy payment planned That I would only have you for a while The love contract you wrote was a just short term note You placed my name on your inactive wile I never thought your kisses were like a charge you count That I'd have to pay in heartaches for taking my amount I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years But I'm paying off the interest with my tears --- Paying off the Interest With My Tears - Hank Thompson
