Lyrics

You dress me up
I'm your puppet
You buy me things
I love it
You bring me food
I need it
You give me love
And I feed 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
I love you; you pay my rent

You phone in the evening on hearsay
And 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

I'm your puppet
I love it

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

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

Look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you; you pay my rent
I love you; you pay my rent

Look at my hopes 
Look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you; you pay my rent
I love you; you pay my rent

Oh I love you
It's easy, it's so easy
I love you; you pay my rent

It's easy, it's so easy
It's easy, it's so easy
You pay my rent
It's easy, it's so easy
You pay my rent
