The Balance Of Love (give And Take) Lyrics

Price of your Love's too much to pay

I'll save myself for another day

You want my love but you don't want me

You sell your goods with no guarantee

You're taxing me at your highest rate

You want my heart served on a plate

The balance of Love is in the red

There's more to me than this double bed



The balance of Love is now in the red

I'm fed up of empty promises

I won't let the grass grow under my feet

I've done my best to make our song complete



Your interest rate is much too low

You think that I've no life of my own

The days have gone for your macho values

I won't be walking in your shadows

You're taxing me at your highest rate

You want my heart served on a plate

The balance of Love is in the red

There's 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

I'm fed up with the empty things you said



It's as if you've never heard of give and take

Must stop messing up me life make no mistake

It's as if you've never heard of give and take



Make no mistake

Give and take



Price of your kiss too much to pay

I'll save myself for another day

You want my Love but you don't want me

You say it's a gift but it's just a loan

You thing that I've 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 

I'm fed up with the empty things you said



It's as if you've never heard of give and take

Must stop messing up my life make no mistake

It's as if you've never heard of give and take
