Lyrics
0:15Stop thief you're gonna come to grief
0:19If you don't take a little more care
0:22You're gonna get more than the family plan
0:25From this one shoestring affair
0:30I may be crazy but I can't contemplate
0:33Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate
0:37One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
0:40One of these days
0:44One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
0:48One of these days
0:54And then they told me I could be somebody
0:57If I didnt let too much get in my way
1:00And I tried so hard just to be myself
1:04But I keep on fading away
1:08Until the lights went out I didnt know what to do
1:11If I could fool myself then maybe Id fool you too
1:15One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
1:19One of these days
1:23One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
1:26One of these days
1:32I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance
1:36Lets not get stuck in the past
1:40I love you more than everything in the world
1:43I don't expect that will last
1:47They told me everything was guaranteed
1:50Somebody somewhere mustve lied to me
1:54One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
1:57One of these days
2:01One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
2:05One of these days
2:10One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
2:14One of these days
2:18One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back
2:21One of these days
Stop thief you're gonna come to grief If you don't take a little more care You're gonna get more than the family plan From this one shoestring affair I may be crazy but I can't contemplate Being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days And then they told me I could be somebody If I didnt let too much get in my way And I tried so hard just to be myself But I keep on fading away Until the lights went out I didnt know what to do If I could fool myself then maybe Id fool you too One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance Lets not get stuck in the past I love you more than everything in the world I don't expect that will last They told me everything was guaranteed Somebody somewhere mustve lied to me One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days One of these days I'm gonna pay it back pay it back One of these days
