pay for what you get

Singer:dave matthews band

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.
