Pay for What You Get Songtext
von Dave Matthews Band

Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Pay your dues, and your debts
Pay your respects, 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
Is she really all she says?
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
I'm okay, How are you?

Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get, ooh
Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get, ooh
