Jeannie C. Riley - Price I Pay to Stay lyrics

(Ed Bruce)

There was a time I really thought it did some good

To get down on my knees to you and I would

But baby now that's all changed today's a brand new day

And you ain't worth the price I pay to stay.

Just because you're the best looking man that I've ever seen

Ain't reason enough to have to treat you like a king

There's a harder lesson you need to learn and it might as well be today

Baby you ain't worth the price I pay to stay.

I'm tired of tryin' to turn the other cheek to you

And never knowin' which way to turn cause you've made up

A brand new set of rules

Somewhere I picked up a little more pride than I had yesterday

Baby you ain't worth the price I pay to stay.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm tired of tryin' to turn the other cheek to you

And never knowin' which way to turn cause you've made up

A brand new set of rules

Somewhere I picked up a little more pride than I had yesterday

Baby you ain't worth the price I pay to stay...
