The Balance of Love — текст песни (Howard Jones)

Price of your loves too much to pay

Ill save myself for another day

You want my love but you dont want me

You sell your goods with no guarantee

Youre taxing me at your highest rate

You want my heart served on a plate

The balance of love is in the red

Theres more to me than this double bed



The balance of love is now in the red

Im fed up of empty promises

I wont let the grass grow under my feet

Ive done my best to make our song complete



Your interest rate is much too low

You think that Ive no life of my own

The days have gone for your macho values

I wont be walking in your shadows

Youre taxing me at your highest rate

You want my heart served on a plate

The balance of love is in the red

Theres more to me than this double bed



Plenty of fish are left in the sea

I seem to have picked a shark for me

The balance of love is now in the red

Im fed up with the empty things you said



Its as if youve never heard of give and take

Must stop messing up me life make no mistake

Its as if youve never heard of give and take



Make no mistake

Give and take



Price of your kiss too much to pay

Ill save myself for another day

You want my love but you dont want me

You say its a gift but its just a loan

You thing that Ive no life of my own

The balance of love is in the red



Plenty of fish are left in the sea

I seem to have picked a shark for me

The balance of love is now in the red

Im fed up with the empty things you said



Its as if youve never heard of give and take

Must stop messing up my life make no mistake

Its as if youve never heard of give and take
