You knew what you were doing when you did what you did
|
You used to do the right things but your standards slid
|
You're gonna pay the price
|
There's no going back to the way it was
|
Because a person's gotta pay for what a person does
|
You're gonna pay the price
|
|
It didn't have to happen that way
|
But it did cause baby you were taken chances
|
It didn't have to happen that way
|
But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances
|
|
You shoulda learned to live by the golden rule
|
Because that karma thing can be awful cruel
|
You're gonna pay the price
|
Lost your soul gave in to your greed
|
When you turn your wants into what you need
|
You're gonna pay the price
|
|
It didn't have to happen that way
|
But it did cause baby you were taken chances
|
It didn't have to happen that way
|
But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances
|
|
But if I was the king of Las Vegas
|
I'd wear the nugget ring
|
Yeah if I was the king of Las Vegas
|
It wouldn't mean a thing to me
|
But I¡¯m not
|
|
Yeah one of these days when the tables turn
|
Yeah your gonna find out that when the truth is learned
|
You're gonna pay the price
|
Where you gonna run when it all falls through
|
I said where you gonna turn when they turn on you
|
You're gonna pay the price
|
|
It didn't have to happen that way
|
But it did cause baby you were taken chances
|
It didn't have to happen that way
|
But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances
|
|
But if I was the king of Las Vegas
|
I'd wear the nugget ring
|
Yeah if I was the king of Las Vegas
|
It wouldn't mean a thing to me
|
But I¡¯m not
