james cook - pay 2 play lyrics
they don’t tell you ’bout the price… ’til you’re already in line
no, no…
[verse 1]
silk sheets and a rented excuse
you smile at me like it’s the truth
but baby, i can read the fine print on your skin
every touch has an interest rate kickin’ in
you want my time, my trust, my peace of mind
i gave you love, you gave me a contract signed
[pre+chorus – building layered harmonies]
and i’m not mad, no, i’m not surprised
just didn’t know paradise had a franchise…
[chorus – full, soaring falsetto]
ooh love, you got to pay to play
ooh love, you can have it any time of the day
but don’t you act like it’s free when you walk away
ooh love, i learnеd the hard way
[verse 2]
midnight talks with a meter runnin’ fast
you hеld my hand but the charge would last
now every kiss is a withdrawal slip
and i’m overdrawn from this relationship
you said “baby, it’s a luxury to need me”
well, here’s your fee, now watch me leave thee+hee…
[pre+chorus – softer, breathier]
i’m not bitter, i’m just awake
even heaven has a toll gate…
[chorus – ad+libs floating over]
ooh love (you got to pay) – to play
ooh love (anytime any day)
but don’t you look surprised when i don’t stay
ooh love… you priced me away
[bridge – spoken+sung, raw]
what if i showed up with nothing but my scars?
would you swipe left on my broken heart?
see, you want a lover but you run a business
baby, i ain’t mad – i just wish this wasn’t…
[outro – layered falsetto, fading]
(humming over rhodes solo)
you got to pay… (mmm)
even love has a layaway… (ooh)
any time of the day… (any day)
but i’m closed now, baby…
cash only… no trades
