Howard Jones 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
