I’ll have to pay
Stole a few chords from Marvin Gaye
Figured out what I wanted to say
Got me a song book and learned how to play
Now I’ve got a lawsuit and I’ll have to pay
We’ve got 12 notes to work with
4/4s the best
I really wasn’t trying to steal your song
Now I’m really stressed
This world we live in is a fucked up mess
And I guess I really must confess
I tried to sign original
And I figure if I sound like shit
Nobody will say that I stole it
Because they would not want to admit,
