lyrics

Pay the Piper
Didn’t you know I was a liar

Didn’t you know I was a dirty dirty liar
Didn’t you know I was a scoundrel and a thief
I thought you knew who I was

And didn’t you know I was a sinner
Didn’t you know I was a wicked wicked sinner
Didn’t you know I was a beggar and a cheat
I thought you knew who I was

I got to Pay the piper, when he comes to collect
I got to Pay the piper, yeah he never forgets
X2
And didn’t you know I was a hustler
Didn’t you know I was a righteous righteous hustler
Didn’t you know I was a pirate and a sneak
I thought you knew who I was

I got to Pay the piper, when he comes to collect
I got to Pay the piper, yeah he never forgets
X2
I don’t want your baby
No I don’t want your rent
I don’t need your money no
Your money’s all been spent
I’m sitting pocket aces
About to change the game
Cause I don’t need your judgment
Sure as hell don’t need your name

CHORUS X2
