Lyrics

> I work hard all day long To earn my money But I might as well stay home For the good it does me Cause I can't buy back what I've lost And I have to pay the cost And without your love I'm as cold as a man can be Oh, (I beg the) high cost, girl, of leaving - ? (I beg the) the high cost, girl, of leaving - ? I left your arms And I'm grieving' Oh how I'm greivin' I thought I was such a big man I didn't need you I looked forward to the day When I would be free Oh but now I'm looking back Through the tears that burn my eyes And all I can see Is you refusing me And it's hard to face the pain Oh, (I beg the) high cost, girl, of leaving - ? (I beg the) high cost of leaving - ? I left your arms And I'm grieving' Oh how I'm greivin' Backing Singers: [(I beg the) high cost of leaving] - ? Percy: With every tear that falls Backing Singers: [(I beg the) high cost of leaving] - ? Percy: Every night I spend on the road Backing Singers: [I left your arms And I'm grieving' Oh how I'm greivin']
