Rent Lyrics

You dress me up, I'm your puppet
You buy me things, and I love it
You bring me food, and I need it
You give me love, and I feel it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it's easy
You buy whatever I need

     But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
     The currency we've spent
     I love you, you pay my rent

You phone me in the evening on hearsay
You bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are

     We never-ever argue, we never calculate
     The currency we've spent
     I love you, you pay my rent
     Oh, I love you, you pay my rent

And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When you're lying next to me

     Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
     The currency we've spent
     I love you, you pay my rent
     Oh, I love you, you pay my rent
     You pay my rent
