Lyrics
You know when I met you woman
I thought you were heaven sent
But then you up and left me
Without even fifty cents
Well now that you've come back
The same way you went
Well you can stay here lady
But tell me, who's got the rent?
You went off to be a star
But you wound up just getting bent
Your head was as hard lady
As a block of cement
You jumped in my Cadillac car
And away you went
But if I let you come back baby
Who's got the rent?
You maxed out my credit cards
And all my money was spent
You can't even pay me back
For any of the money that I lent
You spent all my money baby
And I had to live in a tent
But now you're back baby
And you say you want to repent
Well I can forgive you baby
But you gotta tell me now
Who's got the rent?
