No Charge (Album Version)

No Charge (Album Version) - Tammy Wynette (泰咪-懷耐特)

My little girl came up to me

In the kitchen this evenin'

While I was fixing supper

And she handed me a piece

Of paper she'd been writin' on

And after wipin' my hands on my

Apron I read it and this is what it said

For mowin' the yard five dollars

For makin' my own bed this week

One dollar

Goin' to the store fifty cents

Playin' with little sister

While you went to the store

Twenty-five cents

Takin' out the trash one dollar

Gettin' a good report card

Five dollars

And for rakin' the yard two dollars

Total owed fourteen dollars

And seventy-five cents

Well I looked at her

Standin' there expectantly

And a thousand memories

Flashed through my mind

And so I picked up the pen

And turnin' the paper over

This is what I wrote

For the nine months

I've carried you growin' inside me

No charge

For the nights I've sat up with you

Doctored you prayed for you

No charge

For the ties folding clothes

And for wipin' your nose

There's no charge

When you add it all up

The full cost of my love is

No charge

Well when she finished readin'

She had great big old tears in her eyes

And she looked up at me and said

"Mommy I sure do love you"

Then she took the pen

And in great big letters she wrote

'Paid in full'

When you add it all up

The cost of real love is

No charge
