Pay for What You Get - Flat Five Studio Version

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 the 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
We turn to walk away from difficulty
We turn to walk away from difficulty

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 mind
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said, "I couldn't tell you"
I'm okay

Pay for, pay for what you get
Pay for, pay for what you get, oh
Pay, pay for what you get
Pay for, pay for what you get, oh
