[Verse] You can talk to me about powder kegs How I’m sitting on one right now. You could warn me about candles at both ends burning From the outside in [Chorus] But don’t tell me about true love ’Cause I don’t think you really know   You need to pay the cost You need to feel the loss ’Cause love is expensive and free Love is expensive and free              [Verse] Talk to me about appearances I tell you lately they mean less and less Do your best to keep me occupied It’s hard to concentrate I must confess [Chorus] Don’t you tell me about heartbreak ’Cause it ain’t written in the stars   You need to pay the cost You need to feel the loss   Love is expensive and free Love is expensive and free Love is expensive and free Allright you got me [Solo] [Chorus] Don’t you worry about my baby Her eyes are open all the time I could never dare deceive her Much less remove her from my mind I didn’t talk to you about true love I didn’t think you’d understand    We need to pay the cost We need to feel the loss   Love is expensive and free Love is expensive and free Love is expensive and free [Outro]
