Lyrics Pay For What You Get - Live at Trax, Charlottesville, VA, 11.11.92 - 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 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

But I attempt to walk away
From different colding
I attempt to walk away
From different colding

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
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

Thank you very much
