Now it's come to talking I don't have much to say,
|
It wouldn't come out right, and so I'll leave it out, oh it's best that way
|
And I want to get out now cos I need just a couple of drinks.
|
Can you lend me a little money till I draw my pay?
|
|
And I'm leaving like a thief in the night.
|
But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone
|
And I'll send you back the money,
|
But not the love you lent
|
I could never pay no interest on that loan
|
|
You really give me comfort I couldn't take more tenderness
|
My credit's overdrawn and I just slide deeper in your debt
|
And I want to get out now cos I need just a couple of drinks.
|
Can you lend me a little money till pay day next?
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Why don't you get some rest now you ought to get an early night.
|
I've got a key so you can lock the door and it'll be all right.
|
I'll just take my winter coat, it looks like it might rain.
|
Can you lend me a little money just for the night?
|
|
Chorus
