You can get paid for driving cars
You can get paid for filling forms
You can get paid for being fat
You can get paid for knowing where it's at
You can get paid for shining shoes
You can get paid for selling booze
You can get paid for filling gas
You can even get paid to kiss my ass
You can get paid for driving miss Daisy
You can get paid for being a little crazy
You can get paid for all of the above
But you don't get paid for being in love
You can get paid for looking sharp
You can get paid for playing the harp
You can get paid for answering the phone
You can get paid for being all alone
You can get paid for selling clothes
I'll even pay you to buy me some hoes
You can get paid for pumping shit
Not a whole lot but a little bit
You can get paid for being sexy
I'll even pay you if you'll undress me
You can get paid for all of the above
But you don't get paid for being in love
