The Price You Gotta Pay

I could take what I want
But I take what I need
How can I help myself
If I need everything

I got possession
With half of the truth
Then change direction
Then I turn around
The man is standin' at the door
The price you gotta pay
At the time it seemed so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
It's the price you gotta pay
I got here with nothin'
I'll leave with a lot
Give me what you got
A piece of the action
A slice of the pie
I hope you won't remember
When it's time to testify
I turn around to look at you
Your lookin' back my way
Price you gotta pay
At the time it seems so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay

Now this is how it all adds up
The rent is due and so are you
I here to repossess your soul
Hey baby, you're deep into the hole
It's the price you gotta pay
It started out so easy
Like a little game
There's a price for saying maybe
A price you gotta pay
Price you gotta pay
At the time it seemed so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saving maybe
The price you gotta pay
