I said, "I need a little change"
You said you need a little time
So I made my way downtown where I could try to clear my mind
I picked you up a knockoff watch and I came home to find
You filled the bathtub to the brim with nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
I just can't seem to find
And all I ever get from you is nickels and dimes
Then I looked into your eyes, and you looked into mine and
From the other room I heard the kettle start to whine
That was long ago, you know the pain cools down with time
By my bed I keep a jar of nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
I just can't seem to find
And all I ever get from you is nickels and dimes
Well I wake up every morning, and I get to work on time
Once a year my boss tells me I'm doing fine
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
Oh, that I don't pay no mind
I just come home at night and count my nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
That I could never find
I come home at night and count nickels and dimes
So I come home at night and count nickels and dimes
