work ourselves
fingers to the bone
suck the marrow
drain my soul
pay your dues
and your debts
pay your respect
everybody tells you
you pay for what you get
you pay for what you get
everybody asks me how she's doing
has she really lost her mind?
i said
i couldn't tell you
i've lost mine
words
words
words
have you heard
a bird in hand is much better than
any number free to wander
fly away.stay
you pay for what you get
you pay for what you get
everybody asks me how she's doing
since she went away
i said i couldn't tell you
i'm okay
i'm okay
surprise
surprise you pay for what you get
you pay for what you get
everybody asks me how she's doing
has she really lost her. everybody asks me how she's doing
since she went away
i said i couldn't tell you i'm okay i'm okay
how are you?
you pay for what you get
pay for what you get.oh.oh.
