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
