"Pay For What You Get" lyrics - 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 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?
Every body 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, oh
Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get, oh
Oh
