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

I came home with the groceries
You said you need same more
I gave you my last two dollars you said you need three or four
The high cost of love It's getling 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 It's getling higher every day
Seems like the less I make Lord the more I have to pay

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