[Chorus]
One day, suddenly
A notice in an envelope came to me
Saying that the love checks
You gave me have bounced
[Verse 1]
Men wearing white shirts
And black suits come find me
They put on bright red stickers
On the love checks that you gave me
You recklessly issued love's bounced checks
They even carve out my heart
You recklessly issued love's bounced checks
They even seize my soul
[Verse 2]
You came to me with a smile
Wrapping your arms around my lonely shoulders
Handing me a bundle of blank checks of love
You took my heart as collateral
You came to me with a smile
Promising sweet dreams
But taking the first train before I was fully sober
You disappeared
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
You recklessly issued love's bounced checks
They even carve out my heart
You recklessly issued love's bounced checks
They even seize my soul
[Chorus]
One day, suddenly
A notice in an envelope came to me
Saying that the love checks
You gave me have bounced
[Outro]
Saying they have bounced
Saying they have bounced
