Chi-Lites, The - I Want To Pay You Back (For Loving Me) Lyrics






There's something that I want to give you

I'm gonna give you a five pound box of love
With a million dollar bill on top (million dollar bill on top)
Diamonds on every corner
And a big black pearl for a lock

Use my heart for a key
I want to pay you back (I want to pay you back)
I want to pay you back for loving me
Pay you back for loving me

Gonna give you a cloud of love to sleep on (I want to pay you back)
A determined man to rely on
Love around every corner (I want to pay you back)
Or wherever you might be

Hold you tight, but tenderly (hold you tight but tender)
I want to pay you back (I want to pay you back)
I want to pay you back for loving me, me, me, me

What's the use in denying it, baby
What's the use in us fighting it, baby
What's the use in turning away
When we could be happy each and every day, day, day, day

I want to pay you back...

Oh, I see heaven when we look into the mirror
And an angel when you're asleep
Bright sunshine in the morning (bright sunshine)
Though it may be raining in the street

And now I'm gonna even the score
I want to pay you back (I want to pay you back)
I want to pay you back for loving me
Pay you back for loving me

I want to pay you back
I want to pay you back for loving me
I want to pay you back
I want to pay you back for loving me, me

I want to pay you back (I want to pay you back)
I want to pay you back for loving me
I want to pay you back (I want to pay you back)
I want to pay you back for loving me, me
...

    We are the keepers of our music (just as our ancestors were the keepers of our stories) We keep the music alive, it is my responsibility to pass it on. When I was a younger Man I was taught when you walking with a lady (girlfriend, wife, sister, Mother  etc..) let her walk on the inside so you can protect her (who do you thing taught that?)An older Man. If the younger generation don't know how a Women should be treated (Then I'm at fault)

  50. B.... A....

    JD mijo, no need. You just put it on a silver platter why us adults make tose comments. I hear where ur coming from. But also listen to where we all tryn to say. our generation amd our parents was nice and we respected our elders or else. No lie about moms and the chankla!’ they were happy times for us. we played outside all day.. hated the sun going in cuz then we had to. I hurt for todays kids with technology and phones we dont even write a thank u note we send it. we dont speak we txt. kids dont play outside why?? god forbid they get off computers or playstation 5 minutes. So u see, all Compton was talking about was what we had. and the music we have. Todays music and artist ..well, most dont hit us in the heart or the soul. Our oldies take us back and u smile and just feel good. Take care and smile mijo. I feel you but u will feel where im coming from one day too.

    Special music for lovers only.

  62. I.... T....

    Man...The magic of the songs of this time was that if you were a dude who had a weak rap game you could always recite the words of these songs to your girl and get your message across...There were a lot of guys that used the words to Smokey's "OOOh Baby, Baby when they messed up and had to apologize to their lady, in fact, I was walking down an alley singing Ooh Baby Baby while on my way to the the neighborhood b-ball court,... this new girl in the neighborhood heard me, stopped me and asked if I was singing that song to her, next thing I know,...she was my girl!

    Chi lites influence felt through out the 70s and into the 90s with acts such as the bgs and timberlake and all other falsetto bands. Though I have tired of falsetto over the years, they still reign supreme, not love supreme, but supreme, esp my fav have you seen her.
