It's hard to concentrate, I must confess
We need to pay the costs, we need to feel the loss
Love is expensive and free, love is expensive and free
I'll tell you lately they mean less and less
We need to pay the costs, you need to feel the loss
And whole things burning from the outside in
Talk to me about appearances
Do your best to keep me occupied
You need to pay the costs, you need to feel the loss
You can warn me about candles
Love is expensive and free, alright, you got me
Don't you worry 'bout my baby, her eyes are open all the time
But don't tell me about true love 'cause I don't think you really know
'Cause love is expensive and free, love is expensive and free
I could never bare to see her, much less remove her from my mind
Don't you tell me about heartbreak, it ain't written in the stars
Love is expensive and free, love is expensive and free
I didn't talk to you about true love, I didn't think you'd understand
