Paying the Price

 

Go your own way,

and I’ll go mine.

There’s a price to be paid.

Lets share what we find.


As for me

I’ve bought the right,

I‘ve bought the right,

I’ve bought the right.


Give me fresh air

to breath.

I need respect paid to me.

I’ve bought the right.


You deserve what you get,

I’ll reap what’s coming to me.

Bought the right, both of us,

don’t you see?


What I need is

to be the best

I can be be.

Allow me the

liberty I seek.


I’ve bought the right.

I’ve paid my dues,

followed the rules

and broke some too.


I deserve what I got,

You got what’s coming to you.

Living the Life, paying the price

is what we’ve got to do.


Don’t you know,

this way and that,

I’ve bought the right,

can’t you see?


Lookie here,

it’s plain to see,

you gotta be you,

I’ve gotta be me.


Bought the right,

bought the right

to fashion the life

that was meant to be.


Ups and downs,

inside and out,

I’ve bought the right,

I’ve bought the right.


I‘ve bought the right,

I’ve bought the right.

Lord knows, I’ve paid the price 

with the entirety my life.
