You can talk to me about powder kegs
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
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'll tell you 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, it ain't written in the stars
We need to pay the costs, you need to feel the loss
Love is expensive and free, 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
We need to pay the costs, we need to feel the loss
Love is expensive and free, love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
