Quoting song lyrics in a book

Does anyone know whether you have to pay copyright to do this? I've been sent a contract for a book I'm doing in which it says "The AUTHOR will secure at his/her own expense the necessary permissions to reprint any material, textual or graphic, which is included in the Work." Since I'd be extensively quoting lyrics, I'm worried.

Most have some sort of 'permissions' acknowledgement. Whether that means payment, I don't know. Probably.
