hard earned love

girl you got an appetite

i never stood a chance

it was love at first bite

you're eating me alive

yeah like a spider to a fly

tender is the price you pay

there's not a man alive gonna stand in your way

you gotta have it all

no order too small

you got my devotion

you took all i had

it's such a precious thing

you gone and broken my heart

it's not an idle notion

don't keep me waiting around

hanging on a string

you're spending all my hard earned love

and i ain't gonna give it up

you're so hard to satisfy

you got the moon in your hand and the stars in your eyes

too hot to keep

i know i'm in too deep

i don't need no i.o.u. you can never pay me back

you can never undo

what you done to me

and you still don't see

you got my devotion

you took all i had

it's such a precious thing

now you broke this heart

it's not an idle notion

don't keep me waiting around

hanging on a string

you're spending all my hard earned love

and i ain't gonna give it up

was a time when i'd come back

crawling on my knees to you

i gave you all my love and you threw it away

what does it take for you to realize

that it's over now

there's nothing left to save

i know we need a miracle

'cause when i see you cry

no tears will ever fall

how i wanted you

to love me the way that i loved you

you got my devotion

you took all i had

it's such a precious thing

now you broke this heart

it's not an idle notion

don't keep me waiting around

hanging on a string

you got my devotion

you took all i had

it's such a precious thing

now you broke this heart

it's not an idle notion

don't keep me waiting around

hanging on a string

you're spending all my hard earned love

and i ain't gonna give it up

you're spending all my hard earned love

and i ain't gonna give it up

you're spending all my hard earned love

and i ain't gonna give it up

all my hard earned love

give it up

you're spending all my hard earned love

and i ain't gonna give it up

all my hard earned love

i ain't gonna give it up
