The Shortchange

I buy your love, but you're giving me the shortchange
 Yeah, I'm worn out
 Heavy head and pockets all drained
 Oh, couldn't you spare a little more for me
 Cause I don't wanna work for free
 With nothing in return (nothing in return)
 Use me up when I couldn't tire of ya
 Pull my sleeve when I'm giving you the cold shoulder
 Because I'm always stuck between
 Out that door and at your feet
 Oh will I ever learn? (Will I ever learn?)
 So you can paint me any way you like
 I can be the villain if it helps you sleep at night
 Because you left me with a bruise
 And I'm over being used
 When I get to someone new
 I'm not gonna be broke from you
 You were so quick to find all my weakness
 Wrote my wrongs, like I needed your forgiveness
 But you know that I gave all I had
 And then some after that
 You bled me dry, cast me aside
 Said an eye for an eye
 So you can paint me any way you like
 I can be the villain if it helps you sleep at night
 Because you left me with a bruise
 And I'm over being used
 When I get to someone new
 I'm not gonna be broke from you
 You're giving me the shortchange
 I'm cashing in, I'm backing out
 Cause you know better than to keep me here and lock me out
 You're giving me the shortchange
 And you got scared, I get it
 But you didn't say you loved me when it mattered
 You're giving me the shortchange
 I'm cashing in, I'm backing out
 Cause you know better than to keep me here and lock me out
 You're giving me the shortchange
 And you got scared, I get it
 But you didn't say you loved me when it mattered
 You're giving me the shortchange
 You're giving me the shortchange
 You're giving me the shortchange
 You're giving me the shortchange
 You're giving me the shortchange
