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
  
  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
  
  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
