Lyrics:

The Hollies
Pay You Back With Interest
(Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)
Track 3 on album 'For Certain Because' (December 1966)


Too many people need me,
I've got so much, so much to do.
But when my travelling is over,
I'll pay you back with interest.
I'll pay you back with interest.

It seems unfair to leave you
And sell myself the way I do.
But when my wandering is over,
I'll pay you back with interest.
I'll pay you back with interest.

Most of my life, I've been moving.
And when I tire out, come home to you.
But until then, I'll be waiting.
I'll pay you back with interest.
I'll pay you back with interest.

How cold is my room (how cold is my room)
Without your love beside me!
We look at the same old moon, (looking at the moon)
But you're not here beside me.

I'll pay you back with interest.
I'll pay you back with interest.

{Interlude}

Too many people need me,
I've got so much, so much to do.
But when my travelling is over,
I'll pay you back with interest.
I'll pay you back with interest

{Interlude, drums fadeout}
