Paroles de 'The Price' par Solomon Burke

After I hung up my heart for you, darling
And I said, if you ever need me
All you had to do was call

I stood up and I told the whole wide world
That you were good for me, baby

Yes, then you laughed
And you called me your personal clown
In front of all your friends

Ha, you walked away and you left me
Standing up like a fool
I couldn't even go to my friends or my relations

All I could do was stand up
And hang my head in shame
You see what you cost me

You cost me my mother
The love of my father
Sister, my brother too
Oh, yes, you did

You see now what you've caused
And I know just what I lost
And I know what the price
I paid, I paid, I paid
For loving someone like you

Oh, all I can hear is my friends saying
I told you (told you) I told you
And I can hear my mother say
Fool, I told you

You see what you
(You lost) oh, yes, you do
You look back and
You wonder sometimes
(See what you lost?)

And I see the price I payed
I payed for loving someone
Someone, someone, someone like you

Baby, I don't care
What the world might say
I'm gonna love you any old way
(Love you)

And although you let me down, baby
My, my, my, deep down in my heart
I feel for nobody else but you

And I don't care
What my mother and my father might say
(See what you lost?)
And I don't care
If the world talk about me, darling

But, oh, sometimes, sometimes
I just sit in my lonely room
And I moan all to myself
Why don't come back home?
Now holler to me, baby

(Baby)
My, my, my, my, my baby
(Baby)
Oh, my baby
(Baby)
I need you
