You keep playing sad songs on your Walkman
You ain’t going home
Until he’s packed his things and has gone
You don’t care where, just don’t say
Don’t say he’s gone to her, soon you’ll be a thinking you’ve never left him
You will be a fantasy when he makes love to her

That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay for love
Is it worth the cost?

The boys are scared of wedlock
We are all scared of being have nots so
Will she have her babies by 29
At least she hopes so
Let’s hire a car and drive into the sunset
Make out all of this is just kismet with
No responsibility for what goes on at all

That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay for love
Is it worth the cost?

Oh you know the price you pay for love keeps on growing
Who ever heard of cut price loving
And people say that love and money are nothing
You know what they mean they don’t mean a thing don’t mean a thing
If you’ve got some

That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay for love

That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay for love
Is it worth the cost?

That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay
That’s the price that you pay for love
Is it worth the cost?
