plenty

you say "it doesn't cost a penny"
you say "it is almost free"
but I know that isn't true
I've been there before with you
and it's gonna cost me plenty

you say "just let me kiss you"
you say "just one little hug"
but I know one just won't do
I've been there before with you
and it is gonna cost me plenty

you say "just let me love you"
you say "just give me your heart"
but I know it's not enough
never will be, never was
and it is gonna cost me plenty
