Lyrics

If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper, ask your mama
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper
I spend my money on you every dime
You even told me you had a good time
The night is through and we're all alone
You said, "It's time that you went home"
You've been wined and dined (wined and dined) in front of me
Just how nice (just how nice) must I be?
I played the tune, you dug the beat
Now come on, girl, be nice to me
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper, ask your mama
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper
Come on (come on, baby, come on)
Come on, yeah (baby, come on)
Come on (come on, baby, come on)
Come on, darling (baby, come on)
You say that you haven't known me long
How much longer will this go on?
Girl, my patience is wearing thin
I wanna be more than just a friend
Girl, I need some love (need some love) desperately (desperately)
Stop teasing, girl (teasing girl), take care of me (are of me)
I played the tune, you dug the beat
Now come on, girl, be nice to me
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper, ask your mama
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper, oh, yeah
Come on (come on, baby, come on)
Come on, yeah (baby, come on)
Come on (come on, baby, come on)
Come on, darling (baby, come on)
I played the tune, you dug the beat
Now come on, girl, be nice to me
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper, ask your mama
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper, ask your mama
If you dance to the music, don't you know
You've got to pay to the piper
