The price is gettin' higher every day When it comes to good loving it's the same old way The high cost of love it's getting higher every day Seems like the less I get the more I have to pay I came home with the groceries You said you need same more I gave you my last two dollars you said you need three or four The high cost of love It's getling 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 It's getling higher every day Seems like the less I make Lord the more I have to pay Where I live they want to raise my rent Before I make a dollar you know its already spent The high cost of love it's getling higher every day Seems like the less I get, oh the more I have to pay Seems like the less I get, oh the more I have to pay
