Got to pay your dues

if you wanna sing the blues

and you know

it don't come easy

You don't have to shout

or leap about

you can even play them easy

Forget about the past

and all your sorrow

the future won't last

it will soon be

over tomorrow

I don't ask for much

I only want trust

and you know

it don't come easy

And this love of mine

keeps growin' all the time

and you know

it just ain't easy

Open up your heart

let's come together

use a little love

and we will make it

work out better

Got to pay your dues

if you wanna sing the blues

and you know

it don't come easy

You don't have to shout

or leap about

you can even play them easy

Peace, remember peace

is how we make it

here within your reach

if you're big

enough to take it

I don't ask for much

I only want trust

and you know

it don't come easy

And this love of mine

keeps growin' all the time

and you know

it don't come easy
