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 ...
