High Cost Of Loving

(album: I'll Play The Blues For You - 1972)

The price is getting
Higher every day
When it comes to good loving
It's the same old way

The high cost of love
Getting higher every day
The less I get
The more I have to pay

I came home with the groceries
You said you need some more
I gave you my last two dollars
You said you need three or four

The high cost of love
Getting higher every day
Seems like the less I get
The more I have to pay

I bought you a leather coat
You said you wanted a mink
The way you spend my money
You think, you're married to a bank

The high cost of love
Getting higher every day
Seems like the less I make
The more I have to pay

Where I live they want
To raise my rent
Before I make a dollar
You know it's, it's already spent

The high cost of love
Getting higher every day
Seems like the less I get
The more I have to pay

The high cost of love
Getting higher every day
Seems like the less I get
The more I have to pay
