You crossed an ocean’s worth of teardrops A million dollars worth of gloom         Since you’ve gone it has cost me a lot I paid for loving you I paid for loving you   Give me all the tea in China     All the gold from old Peru        It couldn’t pay for the sleep that I’ve lost All from lovin’ you mmm I paid for loving you   I try to smile and forget the past But all I do is cry Nothin’s broker than a broken heart So broken I could die So broken I could die   Verse Solo Key Change If I were king and had a palace I’d tell you just what you could do I’d trade it all for just one more chance A chance at lovin’ you once again I paid for lovin’ you mmm   I paid for loving you uh-huh I paid for loving you uh-huh I paid for loving you yes I did
