He was in the habit   Of taking things for granted, granted   There wasn't much for him to take   And the only thing constant   Was the constant reminder he'd never change      Tight fisted with his compliments   It didn't seem to bother him   That talk is even cheaper down in luck   And the only thing constant   Was the constant reminder he'd never change      And so she yelled at him   You owe me an IOU   Owe me an IOU   You owe me an IOU   Don't think that I'll forget      You owe me an IOU   Owe me an IOU   You owe me an IOU   Don't think that I'll forget   I know what I should get this time      She was in the habit   Of reapplying makeup, makeup   Beaten up by crocodile tears   And the only thing constant   Was the constant reminder she'd never change      Openly individual, cleverly traditional   She couldn't seem to makeup her mind   And the only thing constant   Was the constant reminder she'd never change      And so he yelled at her   You owe me an IOU   Owe me an IOU   You owe me an IOU   Don't think that I'll forget      You owe me an IOU   Owe me an IOU   You owe me an IOU   Don't think that I'll forget   I know what I should get this time      ...   (I can't tell what he's saying)   ...      They were in the habit   Of taking things for granted, granted   They never quite knew what they had   And the only thing constant   Was the constant reminder they'd never change      And so they yelled at me out loud   You owe me an IOU   Owe me an IOU   You owe me an IOU   Don't think that I'll forget      You owe me an IOU   Owe me an IOU   You owe me an IOU   Don't think that I'll forget   I know what I should get   Yeah, I know what I should get this time
