Lyrics
WHY SHOULD I PAY THE COST... IF I CAN'T BE THE BOSS... WHY SHOULD I PAY THE COST... IF I CAN'T BE THE BOSS... I'M SICK AND TIRED OF WORKIN'... AND COMIN' ON HOME... WHILE YOU YOU RAISE HELL... THEN GO OUT TO ROAM.... bridge/chorus......... I SHOULD BE WITH SOMEONE.... WHO REALLY LOVES ME FOR ME... THAT'S THE WAY THAT I REALLY FEEL... FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE... YOU'RE NEVER SATISFIED... UNLESS YOU SET THE RULES... WHY SHOULD I PAY THE COST... WHEN ALL I AM IS YOUR FOOL... 2nd verse....... SHOULD I PAY THE COST.... WHEN OUR LOVE IS LOST... WHY SHOULD I PAY THE COST ... WHEN ALL LOVE IS LOST... I'D BE SO MUCH BETTER OFF... JUST TO SET YOU FREE.... 'CAUSE ALL YOU'RE DO'IN...IS JUST USE'IN ME... guitar break/repeat bridge/long guitar break/repeat bridge... WHY SHOULD I PAY THE COST... WHEN YOU CAN'T BE FOR REAL... WHY SHOULD I PAY THE COST... WHEN YOU CAN'T BE FOR REAL... I DON'T NEED TO STICK AROUND... WHILE YOU PUT ME DOWN... ACTIN' LIKE A LITTLE HOUND... YEA,THE TALK OF THE TOWN... WHY SHOULD I PAY THE COST... WHEN ALL I AM IS YOUR FOOL...
