In this track, ILIRA channels her frustration and disappointment towards a partner who has taken advantage of her generosity. The lyrics detail the emotional and financial toll of being with someone who never contributed their fair share, likening them to a greedy slot machine and even Uncle Sam. Despite investing time, money, and effort into the relationship—symbolized by summer nights in Disneyland and romantic dinners—the singer is left feeling used and betrayed. The repeated plea to "pay me back" underscores a desire for justice and accountability from the dishonest partner. 💸
PAY ME BACK!
Lyrics
Just like a slot machine
Honey, you had your greedy little hands on me
Crushed, thought you'd come for free
Sorry, I almost had to file for bankruptcy
And I wasted all those summer nights
In Disneyland, my ride or die
On you, on you
You raised your hand and testified
Then took my credit card and swiped
How rude, so rude
(Pay me back) witness stand, can't you be an honest man
(Pay me back) I'm in debt, never chipped in with the rent
(Pay me back) movie nights and romantic dinner plans
Wish that I could cash that check, so pay me back
(Pay me back)
Wish that I could cash that check
So pay me
Damn, I'm no ATM
But you want all my money like you're Uncle Sam
Can't you just understand
Oh man, you'll never grow up like you're Peter Pan
And I wasted all those summer nights
In Disneyland, my ride or die
On you, on you
You raised your hand and testified
Then took my credit card and swiped
How rude, so rude (how rude, how rude)
(Pay me back) witness stand, can't you be an honest man
(Pay me back) I'm in debt, never chipped in with the rent
(Pay me back) movie nights and romantic dinner plans
Wish that I could cash that check, so pay me back
(Pay me back!)
Wish that I could cash that check
So pay me
I been cooking and cleaning for ya (and cleaning)
Thought it would last forever (forever)
Now I'm broke waving sayonara (sayonara)
Can you do me, do me one
Can you do me one last favor
(Pay me back) witness stand, can't you be an honest man
(Pay me back) I'm in debt, never chipped in with the rent
(Pay me back) movie nights and romantic dinner plans
Wish that I could cash that check, so pay me back (oh yeah)
(Pay me back!) (so pay me)
Wish that I could cash that check
So pay me back
