[Verse 1]
When she said, "Don't waste you waste all your words, they're just lies"
Well I cried she was deaf
Then she worked on my face, 'til breakin' my eyes
And said "What else you got left?"

[Pre-Chorus]
When I got up to leave, she said "Don't forget,"

[Chorus]
"Everybody must give something back
For something they get"

[Verse 3]
Then she threw me outside, and I stood in the dirt
Where everyone walks
And when finding out I'd forgotten my shirt
Well, I went back and I knocked

[Pre-Chorus]
Then when I got up to leave, she said "Don't forget,"

[Chorus]
"Everybody must give something back
For something they get"
[Outro]
"Everybody must give something back
For something they get"
"Everybody must give something back
For something they get"
