The wages of love |
| Look before you leap right into love, my friend |
| It cannot be bought so very cheap, my friend |
| Love that makes you laugh |
| Love that makes you cry |
| Before you really understand it |
| It can make you live, it can make you die |
| |
| There will be bridges to be crossed |
| And there'll be teardrops to be lost |
| Or you will have to pay the cost |
| Just wait and see, oh yeah |
| There are many rainbows on the way |
| Days are maybe bright or maybe grey |
| So when you fall in love, you pay |
| The wages of love |
| The wages of love |
| The wages of love |
| |
| Just take my advice, don't be a fool, my friend |
| When you fall in love, you go to school, my friend |
| Lessons must get learned |
| Fingers must get burned |
| Before you really understand it |
| Love is very nice if you pay the price |
| |
| There will be bridges to be crossed |
| And there'll be teardrops to be lost |
| Or you will have to pay the cost |
| Just wait and see, oh yeah |
