You Pay For Love Lyrics - Walter Egan

By Walter Egan 

We take we give to share the life we live 

Once two now one for all and all for one 

But even love most true 

Can take it's toll on you 

One day the payment's due But when a heart's at stake 

Lover's do chances take 

And easy victims make 

And I've been told 

True love's not sold 

But now I know 

You pay for love, you pay for love,you pay for love 

First glance love starts 

To fill our empty hearts 

So good so strong 

No way it could go wrong 

But when a heart's at stake 

Lover's do chances take 

And easy victims make 

Chorus 

And the price is paid in tears 

Invested hours turn into years 

You wonder where it went 

The love that's all been spent 

When part we must 

We keep each other's trust 

The price is paid 

To keep the vows we made 

For every day of fear 

Each night without you near 

The cost of love so dear 

Chorus
