Rent
♫ Pet Shop Boys Lyrics

You dress me up, I'm your puppet
I am entirely controlled by you, like a puppet whose every move is directed by its puppeteer.

You buy me things, I love it
I greatly enjoy the material possessions you provide me with.

You bring me food, I need it
I am reliant on you for basic sustenance like food.

You give me love, I feed it
I actively nourish the love and affection I receive from you.

And look at the two of us in sympathy
Our perspectives and emotions align with one another.

With everything we see
We share a common understanding of the world around us.

I never want anything, it's easy
I am content with what you provide for me and have no desire for anything else.

You buy whatever I need
You are always willing and able to purchase anything I require or desire.

But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
Despite our comfortable and satisfying arrangement, I have aspirations and desires beyond what you provide for me.

The currency we've spent
Our relationship functions as a transactional exchange, with your financial provision being exchanged for my affection and loyalty.

I love you, you pay my rent
I express my love for you through my dependence on you financially.

You phone me in the evening on hearsay
You contact me on rumors or secondhand information, indicating our communication is often superficial or inconsequential.

And bought me caviar
You provide me with extravagant and luxurious gifts, which I greatly appreciate.

You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
You take me to exclusive and expensive establishments in order to show me your sophistication and wealth.

To tell me who you are
These outings and gifts are ways for you to assert your identity and status to me.

We never-ever argue, we never calculate
Our relationship is free of conflict or calculation, suggesting a certain level of apathy or complacency.

And sometimes ecstasy
While we may not always express it, there are moments of intense emotional connection or pleasure between us.

Words mean so little, and money less
Our relationship transcends material possessions and verbal expression, indicating a deeper and more profound intimacy.

When you're lying next to me
Our physical proximity enhances and reinforces our bond regardless of any other factors.

I love you (It's easy, it's so easy)
My love for you is a simple and effortless emotion.

You pay my rent (It's easy, it's so easy)
Your financial provision for me is an easy exchange for my affection and companionship.
