The Cost Of Loving Lyrics

In the heat of the night when my heart is burnin'
And I'm thinking out loud without too much to say
Gotta soul full of need, passion and yearnin'
But there's always a high price to pay

Why, when I need a little understanding
Do I feel like I'm asking too much
To make you reach for your heart
I gotta reach in my pocket
When all that I need is your touch

It's the high ...
The high cost of lovin' you
It's the high ...
The high cost of lovin' you
High cost of lovin' you

I want a permanent place in somebody's life
Not a high priced affair, that's all yours
I'm a man above all, I need someone to turn to
Got feelings that won't be ignored

Now there's no turning back, no running away
Don't they say that once bitten, twice shy
And there's no point in talking
You've got nothing to say
You've got nothing that I want to buy

It's the high ...
The high cost of lovin' you
The price is too high ...
The high cost of lovin' you ...

The high cost of lovin' you ...
