Almost as costly as love is these days.
Do you know what you gotta pay
for love these days?
I'm gonna add them up for you.
Your heart. Your time.
Your mind. Your money.
Total price, everything
It's hard to keep it like it started
It hurts so bad when hearts are parted
Heaven knows, heaven knows
I've tried to guard it
I try it harder every day
I sacrifice but it won't pay
You're rising, rising, costing love
It's costing me, oh,
it's costing you
Uh -huh, you're rising,
rising, costing love
It's costing me,
it's costing you
In my mind,
you hold a special place
Memories I don't care to erase
Signs of love, smile on your face
Now there's a frown,
a frown in his face
Oh, rising, rising, costing you
It's costing me, it's costing you
Uh -huh, the rising, rising cost of love
It's costing me, oh, it's costing you
Uh -huh
There must be something that we can do
To solve this problem
between me and you
It took so long to get where we are now
To let it all slip away
and not even know how
Rising, rising, costing love
It's costin' me,
it's costin' you
People let me tell you
that the rise and rise
Costin' love,
it's costin' me
It's costin' you
Uh -huh
Mm -hmm
It's costing me,
it's costing you
Please don't let this rise and rise,
cost the
Don't let it cost me,
don't let it cost you
Baby, let me tell you that the rising,
rising cost of love
Is costing me, is costing you
It's causing inflation on
that love market, baby
