Love Has Taken Its Toll
Some girls you meet seem so complete
Like they don't need nothin' from you
They're out to show you they don't want to know you
When deep inside they do
Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else
She was alone, thought I'd give it a try
I was a young bull stompin' in the field
I saw red when she walked by
Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
I had to think fast, I watched her walk past
I knew I would have my way
So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up
But I didn't have a damn thing to say
Now, two handed strategy always works well for me
So I slipped my hands around her waist
I swore it was the right move, feelin' so smooth
Till she backhanded me 'cross my face
Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
To make a long story short, she finally got caught
I had to tell her enough is enough
She said, "You're just what I needed", and boy
She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough
Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
Love has taken, taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
Love has taken, taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
El amor ha cobrado su precio
Algunas chicas que conoces parecen tan completas
Como si no necesitaran nada de ti
Están dispuestas a demostrarte que no quieren conocerte
Cuando en el fondo sí lo desean
Bueno, esta chica no me quería a mí ni a nadie más
Estaba sola, pensé en intentarlo
Yo era un joven toro pisoteando en el campo
Vi rojo cuando pasó junto a mí
El amor ha cobrado su precio, el amor ha
El amor ha cobrado, ha cobrado su precio, oh sí
Tuve que pensar rápido, la vi pasar
Sabía que tendría mi camino
Así que me acerqué con arrogancia, quiero decir que me tambaleé
Pero no tenía ni una maldita palabra que decir
Ahora, la estrategia de las dos manos siempre me funciona bien
Así que deslicé mis manos alrededor de su cintura
Juré que era el movimiento correcto, sintiéndome tan suave
Hasta que me dio una bofetada en la cara
El amor ha cobrado su precio, el amor ha
El amor ha cobrado, ha cobrado su precio, oh sí
Para resumir la historia, finalmente fue descubierta
Tuve que decirle que ya era suficiente
Ella dijo: "Eres justo lo que necesitaba", y chico
Casi me suplicó que no fuera demasiado brusco
El amor ha cobrado su precio, el amor ha
El amor ha cobrado, ha cobrado su precio, oh sí
El amor ha cobrado, ha cobrado su precio, el amor ha
El amor ha cobrado, ha cobrado su precio, oh sí
El amor ha cobrado, ha cobrado su precio, el amor ha
El amor ha cobrado, ha cobrado su precio, oh sí
