The Cost of Loving - Ken Hensley

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
