When we fight and I wanna talk it out
You won't say nothing, nothing at all
You just sit there, you won't open that pretty mouth
I think you like keeping my back up against the wall
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin for wrongs that I've done
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin, one by one
I walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the place
You're crouched in the corner with makeup running down your face
I don't wanna believe what my heart keeps saying
You keep me on the line so you can keep me paying
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun
I remember when I was a little boy out where the cottonwoods grow tall
Trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls
Baby all the sounds I heard, even if they weren't real
I was running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heels
I tried so hard, so hard in every way
Swore someday I'd grow up, just throw it all away
Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry
Stomached all my fears till they came rushin' up inside
Darlin' I'm losin' and it's a mean game
Still I play on and on just the same
Wages of sin, I keep paying
Wages of sin for some wrong that I've done
Wages of sin, well I keep paying
Wages of sin, one by oneAhhhh
Don't let your love go astray, save it for me.
Don't give your sweet kiss away, save it for me.
I know you're feelin' blue
'Cause I feel blue like you.
I'll be strong as long as you are and wait just as long as you...
Don't waste that look I adore, save it for me.
Just wait a little bit more, save it for me.
I know that you must cry,
Cry baby, so do I.
Just sit tight and leave on your light....
'Cause I'm comin' home to your arms,
Oh baby, I'm comin' home to your arms.
Ahhhhhhh, Save it for me.
Ahhhhhhh, Save it for me.
I know that you must cry,
Cry baby, so do I.
I'll be strong as you are
And wait just as long as you
Save it for me.

Save it for me.
Oh, Ahhhhh...
