You knew what you were doing when you did what you did You used to do the right things but your standards slid You're gonna pay the price There's no going back to the way it was Because a person's gotta pay for what a person does You're gonna pay the price
It didn't have to happen that way But it did cause baby you were taken chances It didn't have to happen that way But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances
You shoulda learned to live by the golden rule Because that karma thing can be awful cruel You're gonna pay the price Lost your soul gave in to your greed When you turn your wants into what you need You're gonna pay the price
It didn't have to happen that way But it did cause baby you were taken chances It didn't have to happen that way But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances
But if I was the king of Las Vegas I'd wear the nugget ring Yeah if I was the king of Las Vegas It wouldn't mean a thing to me But I'm not
Yeah one of these days when the tables turn Yeah your gonna find out that when the truth is learned You're gonna pay the price Where you gonna run when it all falls through I said where you gonna turn when they turn on you You're gonna pay the price
It didn't have to happen that way But it did cause baby you were taken chances It didn't have to happen that way But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances
But if I was the king of Las Vegas I'd wear the nugget ring Yeah if I was the king of Las Vegas It wouldn't mean a thing to me But I'm not
