'Don't lay a finger' I said
But he held her with five
Kissed the crest of her lips
And put his hand on her thigh
One million in a week
Or the girl is gonna go
'I'd kill you in a second'
He laughed 'Yeah, I know'

I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
But it's not enough to win her back
As my tears hit the floor, he still said [bad word] on man give me some slack
I looked at the case, he said 'I'll show you her blood'
I screamed down the phone line 'So is this the price of love?'

When I stare in your eyes 
I see the image of God
Well girl listen out for the phone-call 
And pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past nine
And said 'I've done all I can'
He said 'You win some, you lose some
I feel bad for you man'

He slammed down the phone
Took his coat from the bed
She said 'What happens now?'
'To your husband you're dead'
She said 'I love you'
And pleaded for her hero to stay
But knew deep inside 
That he'd planned it this way

I gave him my heart, now he's left it to die
And I know I can't go back
He walks out the room, shouted 'See you around'
She begged [bad word] on give me some slack'
He said 'There's no hope, but babe you can wait for that dove'
She screamed from the window 'So is this the price of love?'

Said 'Is this the price of love?'
Said 'Is this the price of love?'

So is this the price of love?
