Lyrics Pay For What You Get (8.17.1993) - Live at The Muse, Nantucket, MA, 08.16-08.18.93 - 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 doin'
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 run away
I said, "I couldn't tell you I'm OK"

Oh, Since she walk away
From the diferent could day
Since she walk away
From the diferent could day

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 ok"

Oh, I said
I should said she was with me
She told me how...

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