THE HIGH COST OF LOVIN'

music: Ron Zack
words: Phil Morrison

Everybody's cryin' 'bout the high cost of what they're buyin'
A dollar nowadays ain't worth a dime
But for me it's not the money...ever since I met my honey
'Cause it takes more than some cash to ease my mind

I thought that I was dreamin' when my girl said she was leavin'
She caught me so completely by surprise
There's nothing more depressin' than to have to learn a lesson
About the things in life that money just can't buy

It's THE HIGH COST OF LOVIN' that is tearing me apart
The price I've had to pay is killing me
It's THE HIGH COST OF LOVIN' that's about to break my heart
Though they say the best things in life are free

Since we've been together, life for me is like the weather
Sometimes there's sun but now there's too much rain
She's got my head a reelin'...I just can't shake this feelin'
Is love supposed to cause me so much pain?


It's THE HIGH COST OF LOVIN' that is tearing me apart
The price I've had to pay is killing me
It's THE HIGH COST OF LOVIN' that's about to break my heart
Though they say the best things in life are free
