The Price

Lyrics

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
 Ha, 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 me 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, all I can hear is 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
 (You lost) Oh, yes, you do
 You look back and
 You wonder sometimes
 (See what you lost?)
 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
 (Love you)
 And although you let me down, baby
 My, my, my, deep down in my heart
 I feel for nobody else but you
 (See what you lost?)
 And I don't care
 What my mother and my father might say
 (See what you lost?)
 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
 (Baby)
 My, my, my, my, my baby...
 (Baby)
 Oh, my baby
 (Baby)
 I need you
