Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoa-oh
[Chorus]
You got to
Pay
Your way in
Pain
[Chorus]
You got to
Pray
Your way in
Shame (Yeah, ow)
[Verse 1]
I went to the store
I was feeling kinda hungry
But I didn't have the money
And the shelves were all empty, so I
Went to the bank to ch-, to check my checking
The man looked at my face
Said, "We don't have a record"
Oh, no
You thought we had forgotten
The show
Is only getting started
The road
Is feeling like a pothole
Sit down, stand up, head down, hands up and
[Chorus]
Pay
Your way in
Pain
You got to
Pray
Your way in
Shame (Uh-huh)
[Bridge]
Do you know what I want? (What do you want? What do you want?)
You know what I want? (What do you want? What do you want?)
[Bridge]
Uh
You know what I want? (What do you want?)
Keep the rest, baby (What do you want?)
[Bridge]
I
I
I wanna be loved
[Chorus]
Pay
Pain
Pray
Shame (Pain)
[Verse 2]
So I went to the park just to watch the little children
The mothers saw my heels and they said I wasn't welcome, so I
I went back home, I was feeling kinda queasy but all the locks were changed
My baby wouldn't see me
Oh, no
You put your finger on it
The stove
Is only getting hotter
The Sun
It's gotta, gotta melt it
Stand up, sit down, hands up, breakdown (What do you want? What do you want?)
You know what I want? (What do you want? What do you want?)
I wanna be (Pay)
Loved (What do you want? What do you want?)
Pain (What do you want? What do you want?)
Shame
I wanna be loved (What do you want? What do you want? Shame)
