You work hard for your dollar You feel like life's breathing down your neck A big bite gets chewed outta your check No one likes losing a bet but there's something in this world we all discover That's that you pay for it one way or another They say its a bargain There's always a sale on what ya dont need You buy it anyway but the credit's never free Try to save time by cutting the line for something better round the corner I always heard nothing in life is free But I never knew that they were talking to me I'm a pretty good guy don't know why Lady Luck wont loan me her four leaf clover I guess you pay for it one way or another Guess that I learnt some kinda lesson Well you better like what you're doing when you're doing it Make sure the grass is really greener before you up and jump the fence Don't learn the hard way take it from me, all my sisters and brothers We all pay for it one way or another I always heard nothing in life is free But I never knew that they were talking to me I'm a pretty good guy don't know why Lady Luck wont loan me her four leaf clover I guess you pay for it one way or another
