You said that love ain't gonna cost a thing
But I said my heart broke on you
You said that I don't have to spend a dime
Now I'm paying the price for two
La-da-ra-daa
La-da-ra-daa
I've been cashed like a cheque
Had my heart drained like a bank and you've got a fortune
At the thrift shop when you traded in my la-la-la love, like a loan
Let you have my love to borrow, you past it off like 50-dollar bills
Used it 'til it was all gone, and oh, I was a fool (a fool)
To invest in you, ooh
You said that love ain't gonna cost a thing
But I said my heart broke on you
You said that I don't have to spend a dime
Now I'm paying the price for two
Oh, I was warned, shoulda known your history
If love was flawed the black mark on your reputation
Left the cost accumulating, for too long, I was a fool (a fool)
To invest in you, oh-oh
You said that love ain't gonna cost a thing
But I said my heart broke on you
You said that I don't have to spend a dime
Now I'm paying the price for two

And oh, I was a fool (a fool) to invest in you
You got away and took all of my heart
And I'm left to pay the debt now (debt now)
I shoulda saved my cent, and bought a penthouse
