Payin' for It Now Songtext
von Robert Cray

Met her in a nightclub
Alby′s Hideaway
I could tell by looking at her
That she had come to play
Bought her three gin and tonics
And we told each other lies
Then I headed for the motel
With my little prize

And I'm paying for it now
Paying for it now
She′s gone and so is my wallet
And I'm paying for it now

Girl took off and
Took all my ducats


Then I ran into Maggie
Old friend of mine
She said let's do some reminiscing
Go and get some wine
She could drink just like a sailor
Got as drunk as I could be
By the time the night was over, yeah
The joke it was on me

And I′m paying for it now
Paying for it now
She took me off the market
And I′m paying for it now

She was soft and friendly
And willing as can be
She had a pretty little tattoo
Right above her knee
I got her down to business
Then I fell asleep
She said I made her promises, promises
That she's expecting me to keep

And I′m paying for it now
Paying for it now
The girl was talking marriage
And I'm paying for it now


Well, I should have got suspicious
When she started acting nice
Should have read the signals
Should have thought about it twice
For eleven days running
She was cold every night
And when she laid it on me
You know, I didn′t even fight

And I'm paying for it now
Oh Lord, I′m paying for it now
Here comes her mother with the suitcase
And I'm paying for it now

No, not my mother-in-law
No
