The High Price of Love Songtext
von The Band

The Band-Shear-Szelest

I can see in the mirror that edge had a little fuzz
Her business card didn′t tell me what her business was
A beautiful care package sent to a starving man
I ate all of that and I was hungry again.

I heard a sound, a knock on the door
That room was empty, she ain't live there anymore
I was standin′ there, reflecting on my own
What's gonna happen to that five hundred dollar loan?

It ain't worth it cryin′ these tears
Put ′em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
As a high price of love.


There′s something wrong all across the nation
Everybody, everywhere, is a victim of inflation
Someone takes advantage, thinks they won't get beat
They think they got a bargain but they′re onlygot it cheap.

It ain't worth it cryin′ these tears
Put 'em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
High price of love.

′Cause iIt ain′t worth it cryin' these tears
Put ′em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
As a high price of love
As a high price of love
As a high price of love.
