You Owe Me An IOU lyrics
by Hot Hot Heat



Granted, there wasn't much for him to take

And the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change



Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him

that talk is even cheaper told in bulk

And the only thing constant was the constant reminder

He'd never change



And so she yelled at him:



You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

You owe me an IOU

Don't think that I'll forget

You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

You owe me an IOU

Don't think that I'll forget

I know what I should get this time



She was in the habit of reapplying makeup

Makeup eaten up by crocodile tears

And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change



Overtly individual - covertly traditional

She couldn't seem to make up her mind

And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change



And so he yelled at her:



And so she yelled at him:



You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

You owe me an IOU

Don't think that I'll forget

You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

You owe me an IOU

Don't think that I'll forget

I know what I should get this time



Oh... Is it real? I don't know

But, I'll act as if it is

What's our deal? I don't know

But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is

If it is, then this might just work



They were in the habit of taking things for granted

Granted, they never quite knew what they had

And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd never change



And so they yelled out loud:



You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

You owe me an IOU

Don't think that I'll forget

You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

You owe me an IOU

Don't think that I'll forget

I know what I should get

Yeah I know what I should get this time
