Hard Earned Love

(альбом: When All The Pieces Fit - 1989)

Girl you got an appetite
I never stood a chance, it was love at first bite
You're eating me alive
Yeah like a spider to a fly
Tender is the price you pay
There's not a man alive gonna stand in your way
You gotta have it all
No order too small

You got my devotion
You took all I had
It's such a precious thing
You gone and broken my heart
It's not an idle notion
Don't keep me waiting around
Hanging on a string

You're spending all my hard earned love
And I ain't gonna give it up (give it up)

You're so hard to satisfy
You got the moon in your hand and the stars in your eyes
Too hot to keep
I know I'm in too deep
I don't need no I.O.U.
You can never pay me back, you can never undo
What you done to me
And you still don't see

You got my devotion
You took all I had
It's such a precious thing
Now you broke this heart
It's not an idle notion
Don't keep me waiting around
Hanging on a string

You're spending all my hard earned love
And I ain't gonna give it up (give it up)

Was a time when I'd come back
Crawling on my knees to you
I gave you all my love and you threw it away
What does it take for you to realize
That it's over now
There's nothing left to save

I know we need a miracle
'Cause when I see you cry, no tears will ever fall
How I wanted you
To love me the way that I loved you

You got my devotion
You took all I had
It's such a precious thing
Now you broke this heart
It's not an idle notion
Don't keep me waiting around
Hanging on a string

You got my devotion
You took all I had
It's such a precious thing
Now you broke this heart
It's not an idle notion
Don't keep me waiting around
Hanging on a string

You're spending all my hard earned love
And I ain't gonna give it up (give it up)
You're spending all my hard earned love
And I ain't gonna give it up (give it up)
You're spending all my hard earned love
And I ain't gonna give it up (give it up)
All my hard earned love
Give it up
You're spending all my hard earned love
And I ain't gonna give it up (give it up)
All my hard earned love
I ain't gonna give it up
