i paid for loving you

you crossed an ocean's worth of teardrops

a million dollars worth of gloom

since you've gone

it has cost me a lot

i paid for loving you

i paid for loving you

give me all the tea in china

all the gold from old peru

it couldn't pay for the sleep that i've lost

all from lovin' you

mmm

i paid for loving you

i try to smile and forget the past

but all i do is cry

nothin's broker than a broken heart

so broken i could die

so broken i could die

if i were king and had a palace

i'd tell you just what you could do

i'd trade it all for just one more chance

a chance at lovin' you once again

i paid for lovin' you

mmm

i paid for loving you

uh-huh

i paid for loving you

uh-huh

i paid for loving you

yes i did
