Paying For It With My Heart Thelma Houston

[Verse 1]
It suddenly seems I've never seen a lot of places I've been
You know there's a lot of them
And all of my dreams were only shadows I was following
And love, I couldn't comprehend
All things were so different then
But what can you say about all the games
You never really wanted to play
When you win ahead anyway
It all seems so far away...

[Chorus]
Oh, but I'm paying for it now
I'm paying for it with my heart, oh yes
Said I'm paying for it now
I'm paying for it with my heart
And every memory that I'll never have of you
From now, until my life is through

[Verse 2]
I thought it'd be better if I told you
What you already knew
I'm leaving the rest up to you
'Cause I'm leaving my heart too
And I wouldn't leave you if you wanted to
Take me and shake me, and tell me to go
Oh no, I deserve it, I know
Don't break me for what I owe, no
