the price you gotta pay

i had a dream

just the other night

me and my baby was having a fight

it felt so real

but it wasn't funny

i took my love

and she took my money

but that's all right

i was only dreaming

but you know what

it got me thinking

you gotta go

for what you know

cause you're gonna reap just what you sow

cause life don't always go your way

and that's the price you gotta pay

i went to the kitchen

i turned on the sink

got a glass of water

and i began to think

this lying and cheating has got to stop

before i lose everything that i got

sometimes i feel so strange

other times i feel so ashamed

you gotta go

for what you know

you're gonna reap just what you sow

cause life don't always go your way

and that's the price you gotta pay

well i tried to kick the habit

i couldn't do it

i have to have it

i broke her heart

and i broke the rules

i get no sympathy for being a fool

i cried so hard 'till i nearly drown

and i paid the price for sneaking around

you gotta go

for what you know

you're gonna reap just what you sow

life don't always go your way

and that's the price you gotta pay
