The Price Of Your Love
The taste of
your kiss
Is like Christmas
in April
I know it’s
not time
But your gifts
are so real
And when I
hold you like this
And I feast
at your table
I give thanks
for your food
And the way
that it feels
The time that
we share
In dark halls
and bedrooms
Never meaning
to care
And the time
will soon come
That you’ll
go back to him
And your satin
and laces
For I can
give you the stars
But he can
buy you the sun
The price of
your love
Is for rich
men, not beggars
But the cost
of your soul
That’s the
price you’ll pay girl
For leaving
the one
Whose heart’s
over flowing
With a love
that’s as rich
As all his
diamonds and pearls
Yes, you’re
bought and you’re paid for
And the cost
goes untold
‘Cause you
gave me your heart
Such a long
time ago
And one day
you’ll look back
When his money
grows cold
And you’ve
traded our love
For the price
of your soul
Yes, one day
you’ll look
Down
a long, empty road
And you’ve
traded our love
For the price
of your soul
