(Allen Jones/Sherwin Hamlett)
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 some more
I gave you my last two dollars, you said you need 3 or 4
The hight cost of love it's getting 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 getting 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 it's already spent
The high cost of love it's getting 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.
