Ralph McTell - Interest On The Loan lyrics

Now it's come to talking I don't have much to say, It wouldn't come out right, and so I'll leave it out, oh it's best that way And I want to get out now cos I need just a couple of drinks. Can you lend me a little money till I draw my pay? And I'm leaving like a thief in the night. But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone And I'll send you back the money, But not the love you lent I could never pay no interest on that loan You really give me comfort I couldn't take more tenderness My credit's overdrawn and I just slide deeper in your debt And I want to get out now cos I need just a couple of drinks. Can you lend me a little money till pay day next? And I'm leaving like a thief in the night. But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone And I'll send you back the money, But not the love you lent I could never pay no interest on that loan Why don't you get some rest now you ought to get an early night. I've got a key so you can lock the door and it'll be all right. I'll just take my winter coat, it looks like it might rain. Can you lend me a little money just for the night? And I'm leaving like a thief in the night. But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone And I'll send you back the money, But not the love you lent I could never pay no interest on that loan
