The Price I Pay Lyrics
my friend said she could see no way
and i was probably better off without you
she said to face up to the fact
that you weren't coming back
and she could make me happy like you used to
but i'm sorry to say i turned her away
knowing everything she said was true
and that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
there's something inside that hurts my foolish pride
to visit the places we use to go together
not a day goes by
that i don't sit and wonder why
your feelings for me didn't last forever
but girl i love you so much
that sometimes its such
i'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe
that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
yeah that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
so keep that phone out of my way
for the things i might say
are empty and deep down i believe they're true
that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
yeah that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
girl i love you so much
that baby it's such
i'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe
and that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
yeah that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
and that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do.....
and i was probably better off without you
she said to face up to the fact
that you weren't coming back
and she could make me happy like you used to
but i'm sorry to say i turned her away
knowing everything she said was true
and that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
there's something inside that hurts my foolish pride
to visit the places we use to go together
not a day goes by
that i don't sit and wonder why
your feelings for me didn't last forever
but girl i love you so much
that sometimes its such
i'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe
that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
yeah that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
so keep that phone out of my way
for the things i might say
are empty and deep down i believe they're true
that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
yeah that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
girl i love you so much
that baby it's such
i'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe
and that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
yeah that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do
and that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do.....

Killer lyrics.
This was the first Billy Bragg song I ever heard. Junior year of high school (1989), I was in my friend's car (she was three years older than me and I really looked up to her) and she was listening to Worker's Playtime. We were on our way to the mall, and I loved this song so much that I had to buy the tape immediately. BB quickly became my favorite singer-songwriter after that.
The lyrics are pretty straightforward -- he lost her, he loves her, and he'd do anything to get her back.
