Baby there's a price to pay
a price to pay for love
When your words mean too much
to the one that you touch
And when there's more to your sorrow
than your joy
And at the times
when love's sharpened knife
Cuts between the girl and boy
Baby that's the price to pay
the price to pay for love
Baby there's a price to pay
a price to pay for love
When you hold such beauty
but letting go of your duty
And when you're dreading tomorrow
just because
Something inside
gripping onto your pride
Nothing I do consoles me
no-one I know compares
Struck by the cost of loving
heartaches and emptiness
but we fall for the joy
made between girl and boy
Though we know that there's a sacrifice
Baby it's the price to pay
There's a price to pay...
