When you are lovin'
somebody's lover
Then you gotta understand
Take a chance and love her
Love her when you can
That's how it is
I know the price
'Coz I'm payin' the bill
Oh lovin' somebody's girl
Keeps you mighty
mighty uptight
Seems the one that you love
Go somewhere else at night
That's how it is
I know the price
'Coz I'm payin' the bill
To make it some one lover
You gotta be mighty
weak or strong
Knowin' in the midnight hour
When you're all alone
Now the one you're loving
Is takin' care of business
at home
Oh lovin' somebody's lover
You have to take what you can
I swear
it make you feel sometimes
Like a handout
from the welfare man
That's how it is
I know the price
'Coz I'm payin' the bill
