The Price I Pay To Stay
There was a time I really thought it did some good
To get down on my knees to you and I would
But baby, now that's all changed
Today's a brand new day
And you ain't worth the price I pay to stay

Just because you're the best looking man that I've ever seen
Ain't reason enough to have to treat you like a king
There's a harder lesson you need to learn
And it might as well be today
Baby you ain't worth the price I pay to stay

I'm tired of tryin' to turn the other cheek to you
And never knowin' which way to turn
Cause you've made up a brand new set of rules
Somewhere I picked up a little more pride than I had yesterday
Baby you ain't worth the price I pay to stay

I'm tired of tryin' to turn the other cheek to you
And never knowin' which way to turn
Cause you've made up a brand new set of rules
Somewhere I picked up a little more pride than I had yesterday
