There's a late night diner on the south side of town That pretty girls on Friday should never hang around But the lady two seats over is sitting there crying all alone If she's here at this hour it must be hell on her at home I'm not trying to know your business I'm not trying to change your life It costs a lot to love somebody And I know because I had to pay the price I finished up my coffee and put my dollar down to leave If I was a few years younger, she'd be coming home with me But that'd be the bad decision that I made one too many times You know we might be forgiven; I'm just not good company tonight I'm not trying to know your business I'm not trying to change your life It costs a lot to love somebody And I know because I had to pay the price It costs a lot to love somebody And I know because I had to pay the price
