Too many people need me I've got so much, so much to do But when my traveling 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 I'll 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 Without your love beside me We look at the same old moon But you're not here beside me I'll pay you back with interest I'll pay you back with interest Too many people need me I've got so much, so much to do But when my traveling is over I'll pay you back with interest I'll pay you back with interest
