Well, I tried to find something, something to hold on to   I thought it was you 'cause I'm sick and tired   Of trying to make something, something out of nothing   I guess since you were bluffing, now I think I'm losing my mind      The pain in my heart, was it worth the price?   The pain in my heart, was it worth the time I wasted on you?   You're giving me the top dollar blues      And I gave you it all, all, all that I could give you   You've taken what I've given and thrown it all away   Like it's nothing, never meant nothing   Now I'm left with nothing what an awful price I've paid      The pain in my heart, was it worth the price?   The pain in my heart, was it worth the time I wasted on you?   You're giving me the top dollar blues      I've bet all my money and that's how it goes   You ran a good race   But you lost just by a nose   It's true   Baby, you're giving me the top dollar blues      The top dollar blues   I gave you it all, all, all that I could give you   And the top dollar blues   Top dollar blues
