The Only Ones - You've Got To Pay lyrics

I had to choose which one to lose I couldn't do it for they each had their views It was so hard, tearing apart Now I know you gotta get it right at the start I learned my lesson now I learned it the hard way If you wanna be in love You've gotta pay and pay and pay After the pain that was suffered in vain The dark roads we travelled with nothing to gain And though the pleasures will always be treasured It's a shame it came to such drastic measures Indecision, lack of conviction Slurred diction failing what you're trying to say If you are a slave to love You're gonna pay and pay and pay Our flightpath's a gradual descent from the firmament I can tell by the tone of the letters you sent What was once sacred is now filled with hatred How come such love can be dissipated? I've had enough of all this poison and decay If you wanna come face to face with love You've gotta pay and pay and pay
