Paying Off The Interest With My Tears Lyrics - Hank Thompson

You said that you'd be mine and we signed that dotted line 

I thought that we'd be happy, you and me 

If I had only known your love was just a loan 

For now you're asking me to set you free 

I never thought your kisses were like a charge you count 

That I'd have to pay in heartaches for taking my amount 

I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years 

But I'm paying off the interest with my tears 

It's the expiration date, you say there's no rebate 

And I guess you'll say my heart is overdrawn 

Another love you chose so my account is closed 

And now, I'll have an empty heart at home 

My credit's discontinued, you say there's someone new 

To take over all the payments on a heart that's over you 

I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years 

But I'm paying off the interest with my tears 

I didn't understand your easy payment planned 

That I would only have you for a while 

The love contract you wrote was a just short term note 

You placed my name on your inactive wile 

I never thought your kisses were like a charge you count 

That I'd have to pay in heartaches for taking my amount 

I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years 

But I'm paying off the interest with my tears
