Then you gotta understand
Take a chance and love her
Love her when you can
That's how it is, I know the price
'Coz I'm payin' the bill
Oh, lovin’ somebody's girl
Keeps you mighty, mighty uptight
Seems the one that you love
Go somewhere else at night
That's how it is, I know the price
'Coz I'm payin' the bill
To make it some one lover
You gotta be mighty weak or strong
Knowin' in the midnight hour
When you're all alone
Now the one you're loving
Is takin' care of business at home
Oh, lovin' somebody's lover
You have to take what you can
I swear it makes you feel sometimes
Like a handout from the welfare man
That's how it is, I know the price
'Coz I'm payin' the bill
When you are lovin' somebody's lover Then you gotta understand Take a chance and love her Love her when you can That's how it is, I know the price 'Coz I'm payin' the bill Oh, lovin’ somebody's girl Keeps you mighty, mighty uptight Seems the one that you love Go somewhere else at night That's how it is, I know the price 'Coz I'm payin' the bill To make it some one lover You gotta be mighty weak or strong Knowin' in the midnight hour When you're all alone Now the one you're loving Is takin' care of business at home Oh, lovin' somebody's lover You have to take what you can I swear it makes you feel sometimes Like a handout from the welfare man That's how it is, I know the price 'Coz I'm payin' the bill Explain Request ×
