VERSE
You can talk to me about powder kegs

And how I'm sitting on one right now
You can warn me about candles
And whole things burning from the outside in

But don't tell me about true love
'Cause I don't think you really know
CHORUS

You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free

Love is expensive and free
VERSE
Talk to me about appearances

I tell ya' lately they mean less and less
Do your best to keep me occupied
It's hard to concentrate, I must confess

Don't you tell me about heartbreak
'Cause it ain't written in the stars
CHORUS

You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free

Love is expensive and free
Alright, you got me
VERSE

Don't you worry 'bout my baby
Her eyes are open all the time
I could never bare to see her

Much less remove her from my mind
I didn't talk to you about true love
I didn't think you'd understand

CHORUS
You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss

'Cause love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
