    A 
I'm sure that I won't be your first or your last 
A                        E 
I'm sure I'm just one of many 
E 
You are the kind that would make a man ask 
E                        A 
Does she love me or this money 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
    D  
But I'll pay what ever the cost,  
A             D            D 
trying to get back part of me that I lost 
E 
I'll stand in line 
E                  A 
Paying on time for you 
 
 
I guess that it's true that most men are weak 
They just can't make it alone 
They like to be known by the women they keep 
Instead of one woman at home 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
So I'll pay whatever it takes 
Trying to get back part of my younger days 
Yeah I'll stand in line  
Paying on time for you 
 
Steel 
 
So I'll pay whatever it takes 
Trying to get back part of my yesterdays 
Yeah I'll stand in line 
I'll pay on time for you
