The price is gettin' higher every, day
When it comes to good loving, it's the same old way
The high cost of love, gettin' higher every day
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 high cost of love, gettin' 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, gettin' higher every day
Seems like the less I make, the more I have to pay

Where I live they want to raise my rent
Before I make a dollar, you know it's, it's already spent
The high cost of love, gettin' higher every day
Seems like the less I get, the more I have to pay

Seems like the less I get, the more I have to pay
Seems like the less I get, the more I have to pay
