[Verse 1]
Prices gettin' higher every day
When it comes to good lovin', it's the same old way

[Refrain]
The high cost of lovin' is gettin' higher every day, yeah
Oh, the less I get, all the more I have to pay

[Verse 2]
I came home with the groceries, you said you'd need some more
I gave you my last two dollars, you said you'd need three or four

[Refrain]
The high cost of lovin' is gettin' higher every day
Seems like the less I get, all the more I have to pay

[Verse 3]
I bought you another coat, you said you wanted a mink
The way you spend my money you think you're married to a bank

[Refrain]
The high cost of lovin' is gettin' higher every day
Seems like the less I make, Lord, the more I have to pay

[Instrumental Break]
Oh
I ain't got no money
Yeah, but I'm a good lover

[Verse 4]
Where I live they want to raise my rent
Before I make a dollar, you know, it's already spent

[Refrain]
The high cost of lovin', yeah, is gettin' higher every day, yeah
Seems like the less I get, oh, the more I have to pay

[Instrumental Solo Outro]
Goin' on
I got the groove
Whoo
