Nothing Cheap About A Cheap Affair

(album: Battleground - 1990)

Last night when you slipped off your wedding ring
Did you think of the chance of losing everything
Did you think of the one who's waiting at home
The one you're cheating with
And who they're cheating on
Cause there's no winners when cheater's play
Nobody wins and everybody pays

There's nothing cheap about a cheap affair
It's a high price ticket one way to nowhere
With no return back to here from there
There's nothing cheap, oh brother, believe me
There's nothing cheap about a cheap affair

Only a fool would search in the dark
For something he has already got
He'll take the chance and the risk of the fall
For a night with someone that he don't know at all
For the taste of danger and the thrill of the chase
Promises heaven, but it's hell to pay

There's nothing cheap about a cheap affair
It's a high price ticket one way to nowhere
With no return back to here from there
There's nothing cheap, oh brother, believe me
There's nothing cheap about a cheap affair
