Whoa, people, you should think twice
Because your plans may seem perfect
But what about the price?
Oh, my brothers, don't give your souls away
Oh, no
Just because you think that somehow
You can get heaven on earth today
Your bible tells you and puts it in your hand
The perfect master plan

Oh my brothers
Don't play with your life
Because your plans may seem perfect
But what about the price?

Oh my sisters
Don't let the dream man tempt you
Just because he comes over to you and he tells you
He's gonna make all your earthly dreams come true
He'll tell you to sign on the dotted line
Ooh baby that's all you have to do
But don't do it no, no, no

Oh my sisters
You should think twice
Because your dreams may seem perfect
But what about the price
What about the price

'Cause somebody's watching, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Knows every little thing you do, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Knows every plan you make, watching, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Knows every promise you break
He knows every step you take, yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And he knows about it every time you trip and fall and make a mistake (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my brother
Oh, don't play with your life
Because your plans may seem perfect
But what about the price?
What about the price?

Oh, my brother, don't play with life
Your plans may seem perfect
But what about the price?

Oh, my sisters, you should think twice
Because your dreams may seem perfect
But what about the price?
What about the price?

Somebody's watching, ooh-ooh-ooh
Knows every little thing you do, ooh-ooh-ooh
Knows every plan you make, ooh-ooh-ooh
Knows every promise you break, ooh-ooh

And you try that thing
Or you buy that thing
Or you, I don't know, maybe you smoke that thing
Or you might drink that thing
Maybe you think it's cool to go out and snort that thing
Or you might even shoot that thing in your arm
I know temptation comes in a lot of different sizes and shapes
Yes it does, and there's something out there
That'll make everybody slip up and fall

And you know, you just get under the mistaken impression
But if you could just get yourself a hold of enough of whatever it is
You think it's gonna make you feel
So good
But I found out the hard way
That everything in this whole world has a price
Yes it does
And you know
You might not even have to wait'till the hereafter to pay the price
You might start paying the price as soon as tomorrow morning

So before you do it people
You ought to think about it once
Before you do it people
You ought to think about it twice
Before you do it, people, you ought to think about it once
Before you do it, people, you ought to think about the price
What about the price?
