Cheap Ain't Cheap (for Crying out Loud)

I got nothing for you

But you keep sticking your hand out

I've done all I can do

So you do the best that you can now

'Cause cheap ain't cheap, but it is when it's free

The dollar's weak, but it's stronger than me

I'm so damn broke that I can't even pay

Attention to anything that you say

Go look into the sun

And you just might see the future

I can't help what's already done

But we don't have to do like we use to

It's a well-worn path that leads to your door

With well-worn tracks 'cause I've been here before

There's hard times coming in case you don't know

The way she's humming I think she's gonna blow

And I just wanna be gone

But I don't want to have to travel

Do anything for too long

And the fun part starts to unravel

It's a damn fine mess that I got myself in

I'd ask for help if I knew where to begin

There's no such thing as an easy way out

They'll hang you high, for crying out loud

I got nothing for you

I got nothing for you

But you keep sticking your hand out

I've done all I can do

So you do the best that you can now

'Cause cheap ain't cheap

The dollar's weak

I'm so damn broke

Cheap ain't cheap (I do the best that I can now)

The dollar's weak (I do the best that I can now)

I'm so damn broke (I do the best that I can now)

Cheap ain't cheap (I do the best that I can now)

The dollar's weak (I do the best that I can now)

I'm so damn broke (I do the best that I can now)

Cheap ain't cheap

The dollar's weak

I'm so damn broke

Cheap ain't cheap
