You pay

You pay

You pay for what you should've left alone
that night that party that time.

Sweet sixteen never been kissed.

You pay for what you talked her into.

Yeah babe this is love
I just know it is
never felt this way before
about anyone!

You pay for teaching that sweet young thing.

How to jump through your hoops
perform all those tricks
she eventually did for you
in the name of love.
Tricks that are now old and used up.

You pay for what she says
she was never ready to do then.
With lunchtime phone calls
that start with what's for dinner babe
eating healthy and salt free
children
life insurance premiums
two jobs to help pay off
the extension on the house
family vacations .

you'll pay cause
nothing in this life is free
and payment schedules vary
according to ones' life expectancy
