percy sledge – high cost of leaving lyrics
>
i work hard all day long
to earn my money
but i might as well stay home
for the good it does me
cause i can’t buy back what i’ve lost
and i have to pay the cost
and without your love
i’m as cold as a man can be
oh, (i beg the) high cost, girl, of leaving + ?
(i beg the) the high cost, girl, of leaving + ?
i left your arms
and i’m grieving’
oh how i’m greivin’
i thought i was such a big man
i didn’t need you
i looked forward to the day
when i would be free
oh but now i’m looking back
through the tears that burn my eyes
and all i can see
is you refusing me
and it’s hard to face the pain
oh, (i beg the) high cost, girl, of leaving + ?
(i beg the) high cost of leaving + ?
i left your arms
and i’m grieving’
oh how i’m greivin’
backing singers:
[(i beg the) high cost of leaving] + ?
percy:
with every tear that falls
backing singers:
[(i beg the) high cost of leaving] + ?
percy:
every night i spend on the road
backing singers:
[i left your arms
and i’m grieving’
oh how i’m greivin’]
