Lyrics
You're always playing tricks on my mind
You must think I'm a fool of some kind
How you think I feel, haven't got the will to go on
My mind is in a daze, games that we have played, love is gone
The price of love and game rises on
To think I had your love, now it's gone
I believed in you, broke heart in two, what is wrong?
Always wondered why you had to say goodbye, I'm alone
And it ain't no price on happiness
You got it, baby, you drive me crazy
(Ain't no price on happiness)
Uh-huh, you gotta live, gotta live
(Ain't no price on happiness)
To lose love is no gain
Gain
I always thought I meant more to you
Than just a couple of tickets for two
Wasn't much to ask, money couldn't last, but so long
What it meant to you, my love it wouldn't do, now you're gone
There was a time when money could buy
The truth was painted dark with a lie
Could you really say, love is gone away, and be sure?
Take a look inside all the love you hide, and you'll find
That it ain't no price on happiness
Got to find a way to tell the world today
Ain't no price (on happiness)
Gotta be free
Ain't no price on happiness
To lose love is no gain
Gain
To lose love is no gain
Gain
Oh, baby (ain't no price on happiness)
Ain't no price on love
(Ain't no price on happiness)
It's a matter of principle that you apply to the situation
(Ain't no price on happiness)
Makes love a fad
Makes you want to hold on (ain't no price on happiness), oh, hold on to love
You may get the cash (ain't no price on happiness), and it may not last
That's what's wrong with the world today (ain't no price on happiness)
Always some price to pay
Ain't no price on-
