The Price

After I hung up my

Heart for you, darling

And I said, if you ever need me

All you had to do was call

I stood up and I told the

Whole wide world that

You were good for me, baby

Yes, then you laughed and

You called me your personal clown

In front of all your friends

You walked away and you left me

Standing up like a fool

I couldn't even go to my

Friends or my relations

All I could do was stand up

And hang my head in shame

You see what you cost me

You cost my mother

The love of my father

Sister, my brother too

Oh, yes, you did

You see now what you've caused

And I know just what I lost

And I know what the price

I paid, I paid, I paid

For loving someone like you

Oh, I can hear my friends saying

I told you (told you) I told you

And I can hear my mother say

Fool, I told you

You see what you

Oh, yes, you do

You look back and

You wonder sometimes

And I see the price I payed

I payed for loving someone

Someone, someone, someone like you

Baby, I don't care

What the world might say

I'm gonna love you any old way

And although you let me down, baby

My, my, my, deep down in my heart

I feel for nobody else but you

(Say what you want)

And I don't care what my

Mother and my father might say

(Say what you like)

And I don't care if the

World talk about me, darling

But, oh, sometimes, sometimes

I just sit in my lonely room

And I moan all to myself

Why don't come back home

Now holler to me, baby

My, my, my, my, my baby..
