Paycheck
I still remember my first job taking orders at the restaurant
Singing on Sundays in the church choir, playing Fridays at the local club
I wasn't sleeping much and making next to nothing
No one even knew my name
But I was having fun, it ain't hard when you love it
I was never in it for the fame
Because it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play
Hey, hey, hey
You know it's not about the paycheck
Oh, but tell me where to sign my name
I still remember the first time I was singing to a sold out crowd (How's everybody doing tonight?)
I had a sea of people to play for, but I just wanted to make my Momma proud
Still wasn't sleeping much, but I was making something
People started knowing my name
I was just having fun, it ain't hard when you love it
I was never in it for the fame
Because it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game (Yes I am)
And I will never take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play
Hey, hey, hey
You know it's not about the paycheck
Oh, but tell me where to sign my name
I sang for millions of people, had my face on every TV screen (Have you seen it?)
But I still sing in the choir cause there ain't no place I'd rather be
You see it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game
And I won't ever take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play
Because it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play, Nah-a-a
You know it's not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my name
Hey, hey, hey
You know it's not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my name
Singing on Sundays in the church choir, playing Fridays at the local club
I wasn't sleeping much and making next to nothing
No one even knew my name
But I was having fun, it ain't hard when you love it
I was never in it for the fame
Because it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play
Hey, hey, hey
You know it's not about the paycheck
Oh, but tell me where to sign my name
I still remember the first time I was singing to a sold out crowd (How's everybody doing tonight?)
I had a sea of people to play for, but I just wanted to make my Momma proud
Still wasn't sleeping much, but I was making something
People started knowing my name
I was just having fun, it ain't hard when you love it
I was never in it for the fame
Because it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game (Yes I am)
And I will never take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play
Hey, hey, hey
You know it's not about the paycheck
Oh, but tell me where to sign my name

But I still sing in the choir cause there ain't no place I'd rather be
You see it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game
And I won't ever take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play
Because it's not about the paycheck
I'm in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a rain check
If you wanna win you've gotta play, Nah-a-a
You know it's not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my name
Hey, hey, hey
You know it's not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my name
