 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 (how cold is my room)

 Without your love beside me?

We look at the same old moon (looking at the moon)

 But you're not here beside me

 I'll pay you back with interest

 I'll pay you back with interest
