it's the checks you write
jaye, courtney
taking ideas from notes you've read
you told me once there was nothing better
than the view from cupid's bow
knowing that he's aiming at the heart you've been claiming
you held me captive and dreamed of being captivated
it's the check's you write
i ain't ever getting back
that i'm gonna live through
and we'll forget about you
told me once there was a great payoff in taking something slow
i met you halfway between our hearts and you never even showed
i been waiting all this time
it's the check's you write
i ain't ever getting back
that i'm gonna live through
and we'll forget about you
cuz they're the check's you write
i ain't ever getting back
that i'm gonna live through
