The Shortchange (Resurveyed) - Thomston

I buy your love, but you’re giving me the shortchange

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 the 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 bleed 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
