You Got To Pay Your Dues The Drifters

[Intro]
Ba-ba ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba

[Verse 1]
Maybe he's got more to give than I've got
Baby, he's offering you a lot
One thing's for certain, before you choose
I am what I am, and to be what I am
I've got to pay my dues

[Chorus]
You've got to pay your dues
I am what I am, and to be what I am
I've got to pay my dues

[Post-Chorus]
Ba-ba ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba

[Verse 2]
All that I have is a handful of rain
All that I own is my soul and my name
Would I be different with a shine on my shoes?
Well, I am what I am, and to be what I am
I've got to pay my dues
