"Pay for What You Get" is a song recorded by the Dave Matthews Band on the album "Under the Table and Dreaming". The song was written as a reply to the band's request for Dave Matthews to write more songs.

The song in its lyrics refers to a girl which really just covers the real intention of the song.

During a concert at Swarthmore College, Matthews makes a reference to the song before he plays it saying the song is about getting lost in all that "stuff," referring to the celebrations about his recent, more or less, success. He also mentions it is for Charlie's Mom at the same concert.

All in all, this song is the truth.
