High Cost of Loving

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
