Song Lyrics

Payoff, payoff
Payoff, payoff,
This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that we're on top, we won't stop (Won't stop!),
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop, this is the payoff,
(Can't stop, won't stop, won't stop, can't stop)
It's the payoff
(Can't stop, won't stop, no we won't stop)

Remember when you got your first drum set?
And how we used to practice in the basement,
When I was singing like Billie Joe (Don't wanna be an American Idiot)
Summer time came with the concert
McDonald's wouldn't let me book it off work
So I called in sick in the night of the show,

The crowd was screaming encore

This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that were on top, we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop
It's the payoff
(Can't stop, won't stop, won't stop)
The payoff
(Can't stop, won't stop, no we won't stop)

Soon enough we went and got a tour bus,
All the girls were screaming just to, touch us
They all wanted to take us home
Now everywhere we look, we see our faces
But we know that well never let that change us
Til Oprah lets us play on her show (Play on the, play on the show),

The crowd will scream out encore

This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that were on top we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop
It's the payoff, payoff,
We only get one shot, one shot (One shot!)
Gotta take that chance and make it last
Never gonna give it up,
We're never gonna stop
It's the payoff

We will, rock you
We're gonna scream it out with the crowd tonight,
We will, rock you
Everybody singing every word from every line
We will, rock you (Rock you)
We just (We just) got to,
This is everything we've ever dreamed of,

Remembering getting drunk around the campfire?
Writing stupid songs about becoming rockstars
We never ever thought it would go this far,

This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that were on top we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop
This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that we're on top, we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Gotta take that chance,
To make it last,
We're never gonna give it up,
We're never gonna stop
This is the payoff
(Can't stop, won't stop, won't stop, no, we can't stop).
