Pay Me In Wine
Pour Your Troubles, Pay Me in Wine
Lyrics
I didn't come here to dance
I'm not here to dance.
I came here to drink
I came for drinking.
You came here to talk
You're here to talk.
So I'll be your shrink
I'll play the role of your listener or counselor.
I need another
I need another drink.
And you need my time
You need my time and attention.
So how 'bout you pay me in wine
How about you repay me with wine?
I got plenty of diamonds
I have wealth and material possessions.
I got a big house too
I have a spacious home.
I don't need a savior
I don't need saving, but it seems like you do.
But it looks like you do
There's a suggestion of imbalance in the relationship.
I don't have a degree in psychology
I lack formal education in psychology.
But I'll be here all night
Despite that, I'm available all night.
You can just pay me in wine
You can compensate me by sharing wine.
Tell me all your trouble
Share your problems; don't worry about mine.
Don't worry 'bout mine
A call for openness and vulnerability.
Pour yourself a double
Have a double drink and confess your wrongdoings.
And confess all your crimes
Encouragement to share deep, personal secrets.
Go on be lonely, go on be blue
Feel free to be lonely or sad.
It helps me forget when I listen to you
Your struggles help distract me from my own.
I prefer Cabernet
Preference for Cabernet, a type of wine.
Send that bottle my way
Request to send a bottle of Cabernet.
Any red's just fine
Any red wine will do.
Baby you can pay me in wine
You can repay me with wine, regardless of the type.
Tell me all your trouble
Share your troubles without concern for mine.
Don't worry 'bout mine
Reiteration of being open about personal problems.
Pour yourself a double
Have another drink and confess your sins.
And confess all your crimes
Continued encouragement to be open and honest.
Sell your secrets to a stranger
Suggests selling personal secrets to a stranger.
And then leave them behind
Leave those secrets behind after sharing.
But you gotta pay me in wine
To receive help or support, offer wine in return.
You gotta pay me in wine
Emphasizes the request for compensation in wine.
