[Verse 1]
Well I tried to find something
Something to hold on to
I thought it was you cause I'm sick and tired
Of trying to make something
Something out of nothing
I guess since you were bluffing
Now I think I'm losing my mind

[Chorus]
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the price?
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the time I wasted on you?
You're giving me the top dollar blues

[Verse 2]
And I gave you it all, all
All that I could give you
You've taken what I've given
And thrown it all away
Like it's nothing
Never meant nothing
Now I'm left with nothing
What an awful price I've paid
[Chorus]
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the price?
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the time I wasted on you?
You're giving me the top dollar blues

[Bridge]
I've bet all my money and that's how it goes
You ran a good race
But you lost just by a nose
It's true
Baby, you're giving me the top dollar blues

[Outro]
The top dollar blues
I gave you it all, all
All that I could give you
And the top dollar blues
Top dollar blues
