Love on a budget doesn't make much sense anymore

Forty dollars at the movie if you wanna buy popcorn

If things go well it's only gonna cost you more

Joan bracelets and lockets bleeding from your pockets

They don't give away much eggs at johnny rockets oh no

But there really use to be a time

When movies only cost a dime

When no one ever locked their doors

And everyone made love in cars

But now the cars are just too much

So it doesn't happen much anymore

Admissions to amusements parks have risen to an all-time high

A nacho and two funnel cakes will run you close to twenty-five

Dollars for the photo booth and water while you stand in line

For the roller coaster the one you really came for

You walk away holding hands when it's over you know

But there really use to be a time

When movies only cost a dime

When no one ever loved their doors

And everyone made love in cars

But now the cars are just too small

So it doesn't happen much anymore
