Lyrics It Pays - Desmond Dekker , The Aces
Oh
Lord,
it′s
you
It
pays,
it
pays
Every
man,
every
woman
Every
boy,
every
girl
Been
this
way
down
To
do
good
I
wish
you
try
to
do
good
I
wish
you
In
the
morning
you
leave
your
home
And
now
it's
time
to
go
back
home
Is
what
I
heard
early
this
morning
Without
even
getting
a
warning
It
pays,
it
pays
Every
man,
every
woman
Every
boy,
every
girl
Been
this
way
down
To
do
good
I
wish
you
try
to
do
good
I
wish
you
In
the
morning
you
leave
your
home
And
now
it′s
time
to
go
back
home
Is
what
I
heard
early
this
morning
Without
even
getting
a
warning
It
pays,
it
pays
Every
man,
every
woman
Every
boy,
every
girl
Been
this
way
down
To
do
good
I
wish
you
try
to
do
good
I
wish
you
