Bills Songtext
von Cowbell

She said, "I know you can talk the talk
But now it′s time to walk the walk
Get up on your own two feet
We need clothes to wear and food to eat"

'Cause it ain′t gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain't gonna pay the bills
It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain′t gonna pay the bills
No, no, no
No, no, no

"I know you can play guitar
But a coin in a cap won′t get you far
And I know you can hold a tune, yeah, yeah
But the bailiff's gonna be knocking soon"


′Cause it ain't gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain′t gonna pay the bills
It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain′t gonna pay the bills
No, no, no
No, no, no

I said, "It's getting better, getting better every day," yeah
She said, "One more red letter, and I'll be on my way
′Cause I′ve been working nine to five
Just to keep your dream alive
But, baby, I can't hold on long
On a wing and a prayer and a whim and a song"


′Cause it ain't gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain′t gonna pay the bills
It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain′t gonna pay the bills
She said, "It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain't gonna pay the bills
It ain′t gonna pay the bills, baby
It ain′t gonna pay the bills"
No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
(It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby)
(It ain′t gonna pay the bills) No, no, no, no, no
(It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby)
(It ain′t gonna pay the bills) No, no, no, no, no
(It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby)
(It ain′t gonna pay the bills) No, no, no, no, no
(It ain't gonna pay the bills, baby)
(It ain't gonna pay the bills) No, no, no, no, no
