The Balance Of Love (Give And Take) — Howard Jones

Price of your love's too much to pay I'll save myself for another day You want my love but you don't want me You sell your goods with no guarantee You're taxing me at your highest rate You want my heart served on a plate The balance of love is in the red There's more to me than this double bed

The balance of love is now in the red I'm fed up of empty promises I won't let the grass grow under my feet I've done my best to make our song complete

Your interest rate is much too low You think that i've no life of my own The days have gone for your macho values I won't be walking in your shadows You're taxing me at your highest rate You want my heart served on a plate The balance of love is in the red There's more to me than this double bed

Plenty of fish are left in the sea I seem to have picked a shark for me The balance of love is now in the red I'm fed up with the empty things you said

It's as if you've never heard of give and take Must stop messing up me life make no mistake It's as if you've never heard of give and take

Make no mistake Give and take

Price of your kiss too much to pay I'll save myself for another day You want my love but you don't want me You say it's a gift but it's just a loan You thing that i've no life of my own The balance of love is in the red

Plenty of fish are left in the sea I seem to have picked a shark for me The balance of love is now in the red I'm fed up with the empty things you said

It's as if you've never heard of give and take Must stop messing up my life make no mistake It's as if you've never heard of give and take
