I Know The Price

I Know The Price - B.B. King

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 makes 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
