I could take what I want, but I take what I need
How can I help myself if I need everything
I get possession, the half of the truth
I change my direction and the bill comes due, yeah
When I turn around, the man are standin' at the door

It's the price
The price you gotta pay
It's comin' down today
At the time it seems so easy, like any game you play
There's a price for sayin' maybe, a price you gotta pay

I got here with nothin', I'll leave with a lot
Come on and take a chance now baby, gimme what you got, yeah
A piece of the action, a slice of the pie
I hope you won't remember when it's time to testify
I turn around to look at you, you're lookin' back my way

It's the price
The price you gotta pay
It's comin' down today
At the time it seems so easy, like any game you play
There's a price for sayin' maybe, the price you gotta pay
Hit me!

[Harmonica/Guitar Solo]
Ow! Yeah yeah, now this is how it all adds up

Ooh, rent is due and so are you, I'm here to repossess your soul
Hey baby! You're deep into the hole

It's the price
The price you gotta pay
It's comin' down today
It started out so easy, like a little game
There's a price for sayin' maybe, a price you gotta pay
Yeah, the price you gotta pay

At the time it seems so easy, like any game you play
There's a price for sayin' maybe, the price you gotta pay
