About

The song’s title is an inversion of the phrase “You get what you pay for.” Matthews seems to speak in the romantic sense, suggesting that there’s a cosmic toll for the good things that come your way in life or in a relationship.

Pay for What You Get Lyrics

Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Fingers to the bone
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 went away
I said I couldn't tell you
I'm OK I'm OK (I'm OK)

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 I'm OK I'm OK (How are you?)

Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get...oh...
Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get oh...
Oh...
