[Verse 1]

Yeah, you felt special, thought you were irreplaceable

Little did you know you're completely erasable from my mind

What we had, it was too shallow for my taste

Don't be too mad when I say it was a plain old waste of time

[Pre-Chorus]

And I remember all the ups and downs

What I thought I had back then but didn't get 'til now

You say you're sorry, I tell you, "Well, it's too late now"

Ask if there's anything you can do, baby, only if you can

[Chorus]

Count all the seconds that I gave you my heart

Up till the minute when we fizzled apart

Ooh-ooh, pay me back in timе

(Cha-ching, I like that)

Give back the hours that I spеnt in a trance

Let me relive each day when I missed my chance

Ooh, baby, pay me back in time, oh

[Verse 2]

I'd tell the old me to take note of the warning signs

Like when you told me that my best friend was a better match for you (Are you serious?)

Right from the get go, you started toying with my mind

I won't stoop that low, but being shady, now that's a game for two

[Pre-Chorus]

And when I think about us now and then

I realize it wasn't a matter of "if, but, when"

You really had me, oh, on all types of clown shit, love

Is there anything you can do? Baby, can you

[Chorus]

Count all the seconds that I gave you my heart

Up till the minute when we fizzled apart

Ooh-ooh, pay me back in time (Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh)

You know I've always been too fine to be yours (That's right)

So kiss my ass and walk your own out that door

Ooh, baby, pay me back in time, oh (Fuck you), alright

[Bridge]

I've been tryna find the right words to say this

Boy, you really had me fucked up, I hate it (I hate it)

Thinking my faults were causing your flaking

When really those two things weren't even related

I'm over it now, not falling head over heels

Or lettin' any motherfucker tell me how I should feel (Hell no)

And you're always looking for another girl you can wheel, like

Bitch, this ain't a two-for-one deal

You made lots of excuses, said it's hard to be faithful

And I was way more invested, so I should've been grateful (What?)

You're trying shit and missing like you're throwing some darts

Boy, I swear I should've known that you were trash from the start

I want compensation, I don't want these frills

Give me cash (Cha-ching) if you can't give any time I can kill

Always said that you were 'bout it, but you're lacking the will

So you count those seconds while I count these bills

[Chorus]

Count all the seconds that I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)

Up till the minute when we fizzled apart

Ooh-oh (You better pay up, bitch)

Pay me back in time (You better pay me back, you better pay me back)

You know I've always been too fine to be yours

So kiss my ass and walk your own out that door

Ooh, baby, pay me back in time, yeah
