The Price I Pay Lyrics

Lyric discussion by sharkycharming 

Cover art for The Price I Pay lyrics by Billy Bragg

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.
