Love Is The Price

DJ Bobo · Greatest Hits [2006]

Rap 1:

Baby's in the parlour

Waiting for the rain

Beating like a hammer

Washing out her pain

Clearing like the one

Seven years ago

When her first big love

Melted like snow



Back then she doubet

If she would ever find a man

Who could love her that way

The same way again

And just when she thought

She's living in vain

The man of her dreams

Came like the rain



Refrain:

When love is the price

Freedom is the cost

Love is the price

Freedom is the cost

And just when you think

Everything is lost

Love will be your price

And I know I would not change a thing

Yes I know I wouldn't change a thing



Rap 2:

They spoke about her dreams

They spoke about love

They spoke about the things she was so afraid of

He had the key-word

For everything she felt

So it didn't take long

'till he got her nailed



Pin one's hope on someone elses life

And all your dreams

Will hurt you like a knife

She soon got lost

When love is the price

Freedom is the cost



Refrain:

When love is the price

Freedom is the cost

Love is the price

Freedom is the cost

And just when you think

Everything is lost

Love will be your prize

And I know I would not change a thing

Yes I know I wouldn't change a thing



Rap 3:

She didn't trust that very first man

To come into her life trying to understand

What nobody ever could before

He only made her see

There is something more



To learn about freedom

To learn about love

To handle all the things she was so afraid of

To always follow what she really felt inside

Everything else was a rollercoaster ride
