TITLE: PUT THE RECEIPT AWAY
DJ DR LOVE — 007 FM

[Intro — Low Exchange]
[Female]
You been staring at that total since the store.

[Male]
Just figuring a few things out.

[Female]
Then figure with me.

[Verse — Male Baritone]
Turkey in the backseat, bills inside my head,
Trying to make the numbers do what pride just said.
Told everybody, "Come on, we got plenty."
Didn't tell you how that promise landed heavy.

[Female — Low Chest]
I put two things back before we reached the line,
You were checking messages; I said that I was fine.
Making separate little sacrifices,
Sleeping side by side with all this quiet.

[Pre-Chorus — Rising Together]
We could make a smaller dinner,
We could ask somebody else.
We don't have to prove we're loving
By doing everything ourselves.

[Chorus — High Harmony]
Put the receipt away a minute,
Let me hold the hand that's shaking.
We can look at every number,
But tonight we ain't breaking.
We don't have to feed the whole world
Just to prove we're doing fine.

[Female — High]
Baby, look at me—

[Male — Deep]
I'm on your side.

[16-Bar Rap — Male 8, Female 8]
[Male]
I was adding up the cost, subtracting my sleep,
Trying not to let the worry follow me beneath the sheets.
Said I had it handled, didn't have the whole plan,
Thought admitting I was scared made me less of a man.
Then you touched my wrist right there at the light,
Didn't need another speech about making things right.
Just said, "Talk to me, we got the same address,"
And I felt a little room open up in my chest.

[Female]
I don't need a showroom version of our life,
Need the man who lets me sit beside him through the night.
We can call your brother, let him handle a dish,
Tell my sister bring the greens instead of making a wish.
Smaller spread, same people, good music on deck,
Nobody came to dinner just to audit our check.
We can put our heads together, put the pride on pause,
You ain't gotta carry love like a one-man job.

[Scratch Transition — "Same side" / Brief Beat Stutter]

[Bridge — Low to High]
[Female]
I don't need a richer man.

[Male]
I don't need you hiding worry.

[Both — Soaring]
We can take our time together—

[Low Unison]
We don't have to hurt in a hurry.

[Final Chorus]
Put the receipt away a minute,
Let me see the man I missed.
We can face the morning numbers…
Tonight, come give me a kiss.

[Outro — Spoken]
[Male]
We still got enough for pie?

[Female]
We got enough to share.

[Strings Resolve. Applause.]
