Everybody’s Gotta Pay Some Dues The Miracles

[Intro]
If ever I have a son in life, I'll call him in one day
And sit him down upon my knee and here is what I'll say

[Verse 1]
You might lose your lover, people do sometime
Oh, but it won't make sense for you to sit around cryin'
Son, don't you know that when you fall in love
Sometimes, you're gonna have the blues

[Chorus]
Well it may take years, but you're gonna shed some tears
'Cause everybody's got to pay some dues, now, now
Everybody's got to pay some dues

[Verse 2]
You might have money, yeah, and a big fine car
It don't matter what you look like, no, no it don't matter who you are
Son, don't you know you can't win all the time
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose

[Chorus]
Just as long as you live, you got to take as well as give
'Cause everybody's got to pay some dues, now, now
Everybody's got to pay some dues
