The price is gettin' higher everyday

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
