Almost as costly as love is these days.
Do you know what you gotta pay
I'm gonna add them up for you.
It's hard to keep it like it started
It hurts so bad when hearts are parted
Heaven knows, heaven knows
I try it harder every day
I sacrifice but it won't pay
You're rising, rising, costing love
Memories I don't care to erase
Signs of love, smile on your face
Oh, rising, rising, costing you
It's costing me, it's costing you
Uh -huh, the rising, rising cost of love
It's costing me, oh, it's costing you
There must be something that we can do
It took so long to get where we are now
Rising, rising, costing love
Please don't let this rise and rise,
Baby, let me tell you that the rising,
Is costing me, is costing you
It's causing inflation on
