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...
