Landlord said the rent is due
It's nothing new
Ducking and dodging and diving away
When I just wanna take you down to school
And I've been around the world
And I found nothing true
But poor is poor, and more is more
We've all been down this road before

Knock on my door, I said "leave me alone"
"Ain't nobody home"
They knock on my door, I said "leave me alone"
"Ain't nobody home"
Just give me a moment before we begin
If you live in the moment, then you owe me rent
Just take it in

You think I'm running out of bases
Must think I'm running out of aces
But I got a few left that I've been saving, saving, saving

All for them toy cars and paper planes
All of our favorite things
Toy cars and paper planes
And all of our favorites
Toy cars and paper planes
All of our favorite things
Toy cars and paper planes
And all of our favorites

My girlfriend, she been acting rude
What's good with you?
Ducking and dodging and diving away
When I just wanna sit and chill for two
No, I might could a been had
A couple things to prove
I'm overdue, but if you choose to stay
I'll give you a dollar
Get involved

They knock on our door, I said "leave us alone"
"Ain't nobody home"
They knock on our door, I said "leave us alone"
"Ain't nobody home"
I'm on my way, so wish me well
Flipped all my pennies into that wishing well
And I watched, the ripple grew

You think I'm running out of bases
Must think I'm running out of aces
But I got a few left that I've been saving, saving, saving

All for them toy cars and paper planes
All of our favorite things
Toy cars and paper planes
And all of our favorites
Toy cars and paper planes
All of our favorite things
Toy cars and paper planes
And all of our favorites

I told her, "if I was a rich man"
"I'd spread my riches underneath your feet"
But being poor, I've only my dreams
So watch how you step on me, oh
Watch how you step on my dreams
Watch how you step on my dreams
Watch how you step on my dreams
Watch how you step on me, oh

All for them toy cars and paper planes
All of our favorite things
Toy cars and paper planes
And all of our favorites
Toy cars and paper planes
All of our favorite things
Toy cars and paper planes
And all of our favorites
