Lyrics
NO LOVE IS FREE
Words and Music
Tom Griffith
She got the house, I got the car
One minute we're married, then the next I'm in a singles bar
I still can't believe how easy it was
For them to figure out the cost of fallin' out of love
But they did and then they sent the bill to me
No love is free (4x)
We met at a love-in, smoke filled the air
I still remember all the flowers she wore in her hair
We moved in together, the years drifted by
And somewhere between the kids, careers and cars we forgot to try
Now all I have are some expensive memories
No love is free (4x)
Losing your money's jus the start
You don't watch out you'll lose your heart
Oh, oh, oh, I oughtta know
Somewhere, somehow, someday
Sooner or later you're gonna pay
You're gonna pay and pay and pay and pay and
That's just the way it is
Well I put my life together again
I'm just a little bit older, wiser and poorer than I was back then
But I learned a lesson I'll never forget
Sometimes the love you give-it doesn't always equal the love you get
Every passion has it price, take it from me
No love is free (4(x)
