You broke down my door and let yourself in
You helped yourself to my soul and skin
You ate all you needed then had the nerve
And help yourself to dessert
And I could have charged you a service fee
I could have charged you a service fee
It wasn't very pretty, it wasn't very kind
I'd rather go deaf, paralysed and blind
But I laid back, held still by the fear
That you would smash me to pieces
You know I could have charged you a service fee
I should have charged you a service fee
I carry knives in my pockets, bullets in my guns
Don't you try to chase me, I'm not gonna run
Don't you ever ask me, don't you dare to begin
I'm not gonna talk about it
But God knows I'm gonna sing
God knows I'm gonna sing about it
You know I could have charged you
Should have charged you a service fee
I could have charged you a service fee
Thank you, boy, I'd rather walk home alone
Thank you, sir, I'd rather walk home alone
Thank you, brother, I'd rather walk home alone
Thank you, mister, I'd rather walk home alone
