'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel

It's the kind of night that's so cold

When you spit It freezes before it hits the ground

And when the bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar

If he's out tonight, he must be truly down

And I'm searching all the windows

For a last minute presents

To prove to you what I said was real

For something small and frail and plastic

Baby, 'cause cheap is how I feel

Half a moon in the sky tonight

Bright enough to come up with answer

Yeah, to the question

Why is it every time I see you

My love grows a little stronger

But your memory leaves my stomach churning

Feeling like a lie about to be revealed

But I'll horde all this to myself

'Cause cheap is how I feel

It's not the smell in here that gets to me

It's the lights, how I hate the shadows that they cast

And the sound of clicking bottles is the one sure thing

And I'll always drag with me from past

I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight

To fall into and maybe strike a deal

Your body for my soul, fair swap

'Cause cheap is how I feel
