lyrics

PAYCHECK

I still remember my first job
Taking orders at the restaurant
Singing on Sundays in the church choir
Playing Fridays at the local club

I wasn’t sleeping much and making next to nothing
No one even knew my name
But I was having fun, it ain’t work when you love it
I was never in it for the fame

Because it’s not about the paycheck
I’m in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a raincheck
If you wanna win you gotta play, hey, hey
You know it’s not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my name

I still remember the first time
I was singing to a sold out crowd
I had a sea of people to play for
But I just wanted to make my mama proud

I wasn’t sleeping much, but I was making something
And people started knowing my name
I was just having fun, it ain’t work when you love it
I was never in it for the fame

Because it’s not about the paycheck
I’m in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a raincheck
If you wanna win you gotta play, hey, hey
You know it’s not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my name

I sang for millions of people
Had my face on every TV screen (Have you seen me)
But I still sing in the choir
Cuz there ain’t no place I’d rather be

Because it’s not about the paycheck
I’m in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a raincheck
If you wanna win you gotta play,
Because it’s not about the paycheck
I’m in it for the love of the game
And I will never take a raincheck
If you wanna win you gotta play, hey, hey
You know it’s not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my name
You know it’s not about the paycheck
But tell me where to sign my nam
