OSPADA - PAY OFF

Work all day, work all week
Barely making it home to rock my baby to sleep
It’s got to pay off, pay off soon
I’m ’bout to lose my nice physique

Weary mind, paler cheeks
But still I manage to make all their offers seem cheap
It’s got to pay off, pay off soon
Every day, I become increasingly bleak
I be selling them tickets ‘til my throat gets sore
Trying to avoid making little fat children buy more
It’s got to pay off, pay off soon
Losing my voice having to scream when I speak
A hundred times a shift I be sweeping them floors
I’ll even clean the sick up though I’m full of remorse
I don’t get paid enough, paid enough, no, to wanna wash up after freaks

Goodnight!
“Girl, won’t you dream of us tonight?”
No, at night, I dream of anything I like
These folks don’t even know the name of the band I’m in
They don’t know me
That people dancing to the words I am singing
They don’t know me
Don’t even know the reason why I’m still struggling
They don’t know me
I just can’t wait to write a new song, to convince them with my melodies
“Yes I can”, “Yes I will”
I do my best to satisfy without sounding shrill
It’s got to pay off, pay off soon
Waiting on customers with temper to kill
I’m making every effort to grant their will
It feels like pleasing’s turning into my foremost skill
I don’t get paid enough, paid enough no
Being ridiculed so I can pay bills
These folks don’t even know the name of the band I’m in
They don’t know me
That people dancing to the words I am singing
They don’t know me
Don’t even know the reason why I’m still struggling
They don’t know me
I just can’t wait to write a new song, to convince them with my melodies

Goodnight!
“Girl, won’t you dream of us tonight?”
No, at night, I dream of anything I like
Tonight
Take off their vest and their bow tie
Tonight
To be the star I am tonight
Tonight
Not gonna steal my dreams tonight
Tonight
I’ll dream of anything I like
Take off their vest and their bow tie
Tonight
To be the star I am tonight!
These folks don’t even know the name of the band I’m in
They don’t know me
That people dancing to the words I am singing
They don’t know me
Don’t even know the reason why I’m still struggling
They don’t know me
I just can’t wait to write a new song, to convince them with my melodies
