The Price of Love

[Verse 1]
"Don't lay a finger," I said
But he held her with five
Kissed the crest of her lips
And put his hands on her thigh
"One million in a week
Or the girl's gonna go"
"I'd kill you in a second"
He laughed, "Yeah, I know"

I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
But it's not enough to win her back
As my tears hit the floor, he still said, "No"
"Come on, man, give me some slack"
I looked at the case, he said
"I'll show you her blood"
I screamed down the phone line
"So, is this the price of love?"

[Verse 2]
When I stare in your eyes
I see the image of God
Well, girl, listen out for the phone call
And pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past nine
And said, "I've done all I can"
He said, "You win some, you lose some
I feel bad for you, man"

He slammed down the phone
And took his coat from the bed
She said, "What happens now?"
"Well, to your husband, you're dead"
She said, "I love you"
And pleaded for her hero to stay
But knew deep inside
That he'd planned it this way

"I gave him my heart
Now he's left it to die
And I know I can't go back"
He walked out the room
Shouted, "See you around"
She begged, "Come on, give me some slack"
He said, "There's no hope, but, babe
You can wait for that dove"
She screamed from the window
"So, is this the price of love?"

Said, "Is this the price of love?"
Said, "Is this the price of love?"

[Outro]
So, is this the price of love?
So, is this the price of love?
So, is this the price of love?
So, is this the price of love?
So, is this the price of love?
So, is this the price of love?
So, is this the price of love?
