The Price I Pay Lyrics - Billy Bragg

My friend said she could see no way ahead 

And I was probably better off without you 

She said to face up to the fact that you weren't coming back 

And she could make me happy like you used to 

But I'm sorry to say I turned her away 

Knowing everything she said was true 

And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do 

There's something inside that hurts my foolish pride 

To visit the places we used to go together 

Not a day goes by that I don't sit and wonder why 

Your feelings for me didn't last forever 

Girl I love you so much that sometimes it's such 

I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe 

And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do 

That's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do 

So keep that phone out of my way for the things I must say 

Are empty if you don't believe they're true 

And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do 

That's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do 

I love you so much that baby it's such 

I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe 

And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do
