The price is gettin' higher every day When it comes to good loving, it's the same old way It's the high cost of love, getting higher every day And the less I get the more I have to pay Came home with the groceries, you said you needed more I gave my last two dollars, you needed three or four But high 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 mink The way you spend my money, you'd think I was a bank The high cost of love, it's getting' higher every day Seems like the less I make the more I have to pay Where I live they wanna 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 The less I get paid the more I have to pay
