Lover's Compensation

I don't mind that you're leaving baby

I don't mind that you said goodbye

You won't see me grieving baby

When you're gone you won't see me cry

You say to find somebody new

But before you go baby I got business with you

I want some lover's compensation

Wanna be paid for the work I've done

I want some lover's compensation

No, you didn't think this was just for fun

I want some lover's compensation

For every hour, every day

I want some lover's compensation

Then I'll be on my way, yeah, yeah

Spent three years, did the best that I could

Put food on the table

Always did the things that I should

I was ready, willing and able

You think goodbye is all you got to say

But hold up a minute baby, there's a debt you got to pay

I want some lover's compensation

Wanna be paid for the work I've done

I want some lover's compensation

No, you didn't think this was just for fun

I want some lover's compensation

For every hour, every day

I want some lover's compensation

Then I'll be on my way

I've been working overtime

Took me a lot care for yours and mine

Now you say you've got to go

Hold on now baby, pay me what you owe

I want some lover's compensation

Wanna be paid for the work I've done

I want some lover's compensation

No, you didn't think this was just for fun

I want some lover's compensation

For every hour, every day

I want some lover's compensation

I'll be on my way

Oh yeah, pay me what you owe baby

Oh yeah, I want some lover's compensation now, yeah

Ooh, yeah, ooh

I've got to have it girl, alright

Pay me what you owe mama

Yeah, ooh
