You Paid a Price

(Gettin' All the Things You Want)

Verse 1

You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You look worn down, ragged out, put upon
Drivin' your Mercedes car,
And the frown you're wearing on your face
Tells me that you went too far, and

You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.

Verse 2

It looks like you were a pretty woman,
Once upon a time.
In my rear-view mirror it looks like you
Got a load on your shoulder and on your mind.

You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.

Verse 3

You got behind me in a fancy neighborhood
That I drive through.
I don't live in your big house,
I live where happier people do.

You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.

Verse 4

You're right, I shouldn't judge you now,
By a chance encounter on the road.
Just goes to show you that a smile
Is worth more than a house of gold.

You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
You paid a price, gettin' all the things you want.
