Payup

[Verse 1]
Take a seat up at the dinner table
I made a meal just for you, you
Go and lay up all your problems on me
I never need to ask you to do

[Pre-Chorus]
You come home, you complain, it's like our tradition
I'm breaking my back just to get you to listen
I learn to keep quiet, I turn to submission
But you still want more

[Chorus]
Gave you clarity (I did all that)
Made you family (I did all that)
Couples therapy (I did all that)
I really did that (She really did that)
All my energy (I did all that)
To give you anything and everything, yeah (I did all that)
What more can I do?
If that's not enough for you
You better pay up

[Post-Chorus]
I'm not working for free
Yeah, I got what you need but you better pay me
After all of this time
You'll be catching these fines
I'm not working for free
Yeah, I got what you need but you better pay me
After all of this time
Gimme, gimme what's mine

[Verse 2]
Baby, I'm just so addicted to ya
But it's time to cut you loose, loose
So I'm writing up an invoice to ya
'Cause your bill is overdue

[Chorus]
Gave you clarity (I did all that)
Made you family (I did all that)
Couples therapy (I did all that)
I really did that (She really did that)
All my energy (I did all that)
To give you anything and everything more (I did all that)
What more can I do?
If that's not enough for you
You better pay up

[Post-Chorus]
I'm not working for free
Yeah, I got what you need but you better pay me
After all of this time
You'll be catching these fines
I'm not working for free
Yeah, I got what you need but you better pay me
After all of this time
Gimme, gimme what's mine

[Bridge]
I'm not working for free
Emotional labour, I charge hourly
If you can't afford it, it's best that you leave
I'm not working for free
Emotional labour, I charge hourly
If you can't afford it, it's best that you leave

Are you really that offended, baby?
Well, you should've given more

[Chorus]
Gave you clarity (I did all that)
Made you family (I did all that)
After all of this time
You'll be catching these fines
I'm not working for free
Yeah, I got what you need but you better pay me
After all of this time
Gimme, gimme what's mine
