Too High a Price Lyrics

She's a waitress at a restaurant

I see her now and then

We talk as she clears the tables

She's nothing more than a friend

But something's changed in recent times

It's something I can't define

The way she talks is somehow more intense

She's no longer sitting on her side of the fence

I was sitting drinking coffee last Tuesday

And quietly reading the news

When she made a point of showing me

That she'd bought herself a new pair of shoes

Now I didn't think much about it

But she came back again and again

And each time that she saw me

Well, that look in her eye was the same

Now don't go getting any silly ideas

'Cos I've got someone at home

And I ain't gonna fall for your temptations

My heart, it ain't gonna roam

Yeah, I like you, fine

But I can't pay no mind

To your soft seductive ways

It's just too high a price to pay

If it was a different situation

And I had no other ties

Then nothing would have stopped me

From falling for those eyes

But I ain't the kind

For cheating and lies

And I ain't the kind

To fool around on the side

So don't go getting any silly ideas

'Cos I've got someone at home

And I ain't gonna fall for your temptations

My heart, it ain't gonna roam

Yeah, I like you, fine

But I can't pay no mind

To your soft seductive ways

It's just too high a price to pay
