The High Price of Love

The Band

I can see in the mirror that edge had a little fuzz
Her business card didn't tell me what her business was
A beautiful care package sent to a starving man
I ate all of that and I was hungry again.

I heard a sound, a knock on the door
That room was empty, she ain't live there anymore
I was standin' there, reflecting on my own
What's gonna happen to that five hundred dollar loan ?

It ain't worth it cryin' these tears
Put 'em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
As a high price of love.

There's something wrong all across the nation
Everybody, everywhere, is a victim of inflation
Someone takes advantage, thinks they won't get beat
They think they got a bargain but they're onlygot it cheap.

It ain't worth it cryin' these tears
Put 'em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
High price of love.

'Cause iIt ain't worth it cryin' these tears
Put 'em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
As a high price of love
As a high price of love
As a high price of love.
