What I Get Paid For Lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Okay I get it 

It just took me a minute 

But you said it all at the get-go 

And I guess I've improved, 'cause my usual move would be to prove it right 

down on the floor 

With my heart on my sleeve, I'll get even no doubt 

That's what I get paid for 

Start at the beginning, keep grinning and shout 

That's what I get paid for 

Getting up dizzy, it's okay to give up 

Why kid yourself, you were gunning for glory 

All attitude and honesty 

But when you wind down to zero, there's things you won't face 

And the buzzards start screaming 

With your heart on your sleeve, you'll get even no doubt 

That's what you get paid for 

Start at the beginning, keep grinning and shout 

That's what you get paid for 

Just getting up dizzy, it's okay to give up* 

That's what you get paid for 

You're losing your head 

With my heart on my sleeve, I'll get even no doubt 

That's what I get paid for 

Start at the beginning, keep grinning and shout 

That's what I get paid for 

Getting up dizzy, it's okay to give up* 

That's what I get paid for 

I'm losing my head
