Payin’ Dues

Don’t mind my tire's flat ok 
I’ll plug it up
cold that went away returned real bad
unlike you who ran from love
won’t come back
my checks returned three times low on cash
fever’s only thing seems to last
not love we had

health insurance canceled it 
girl what can I do
scrambling,  juggling bills
credit cards soaring twenty nine percent
still my one interest is you

sometimes you win you lose
sometimes get the blues
honey ... after you
I’m caught up payin’ dues
paying dues
sometimes your heart can’t choose
getting over you  
‘least since we’ve been thru
I’m caught up payin’ dues
paying dues

‘course, my cell phone broke today
that’s okay
quiet them collection agencies
debt collectors they don’t count, anyway
no one does but you who won’t call ...   nay

internet I cancelled it
girl what can I do
knowing won’t be emailed once from you
sixty day extension just to  pay rent
as family and friends rub in we’re through
  
sometimes you win you lose
sometimes get the blues
honey after you
I’m caught up payin’ dues
paying dues
sometimes your heart  can’t choose
getting over you
least since we’ve been through 
I’m caught up payin’ dues
paying dues

ooh yea payin doo-oos payin’ dues, payin’ dues
payin dues without you
doo doo du-oos oh yea
payin’ dues

sometimes you win you lose 
sometimes get the blues
honey ... after you
I’m caught up payin’ dues
paying dues
sometimes your heart can’t  choose
getting over you  
‘least since we’ve been thru
I’m caught up payin’ dues
paying dues

sometimes your heart can’t  choose
getting over you  
‘least since we’ve been thru
I’m caught up payin’ dues
paying dues
sometimes you win you lose
sometimes get the blues
honey ... after you
I’m caught up payin’ dues 
payin dues payin dues
do do du-oos
