The Price

After I hung up my heart for you, darlin'

And I said, "If you need me, all you have to do is 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

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 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've lost

And I know what the price I paid, I paid, I paid

For loving someone like you

Oh, I can hear my friends saying (I told you)

I told you, I told you (I told you)

And I can hear my mother say

"Fool, I told you"

You see what you (Lost)

Oh, yes, you do

You look back and you wonder sometimes

(See what you lost)

No, no, no, no, and I see the price I paid

I paid for loving someone, someone, someone, like you

And I don't care what the world might say

I gonna love you

And although you let me down, baby

My, my, my

Deep down in my heart, I feel for nobody else, but you

And I don't care what my mother, my father might say

(See what you lost)

And I don't care if the world talk about me, darlin'

But, oh, sometimes, sometimes, I just sit in my lonely room

And I moan, moan to myself

Why don't you come back home?

Now, holler to me, baby

My, my, my, my, my, my, baby

(Baby) Baby

Baby...
