The Price of Love White Lies

[Verse 1]
"Don't lay a finger," I said
But he held her with five
Kissed the crest of her lips
And put his hands on her thigh
"One million in a week
Or the girl's gonna go"
"I'd kill you in a second"
He laughed, "Yeah, I know"

I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
But it's not enough to win her back
As my tears hit the floor, he still said, "No"
"Come on, man, give me some slack"
I looked at the case, he said
"I'll show you her blood"
I screamed down the phone line
"So, is this the price of love?"

[Verse 2]
When I stare in your eyes
I see the image of God
Well, girl, listen out for the phone call
And pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past nine
And said, "I've done all I can"
He said, "You win some, you lose some
I feel bad for you, man"
