Call It A Loan Lyrics by Jackson Browne

Call It A Loan

In the morning when I closed my eyes
You were sleeping in paradise
And while the room was growing light
I was holding still with all my might

Ohwhat if its true
...what my heart says
Ohwhatll I do
What if this feeling becomes hard to part with

You were meant to play your part
In the design of a desperate heart
And while you gave your love to me
I was betting I was getting it free

Oh if Id only known
...what your heart cost
Oh can we call it a loan
And a debt that I owe
On a bet that I lost

In the evening when you see my eyes
Looking back at you, no disguise
Im not sure who you think youll see
Im just hoping youll still know that its me

Oh what if its true
...better ask the man inside
Oh, oh there seem to be two
One steals the love, and the other one hides.

Yeah can we call it a loan
Till Im paid in full for the seeds Ive sown
Yeah can we say that Ive grown
In someway that we may have yet to be shown

Oh if Id only known
...what your heart cost
Oh can we call it a loan
And a debt that I owe
On a bet that I lost
