	Story Behind the Song The idea for The Cost of Loving You comes from listening to certain modern bands who have managed to successfully merge fresh, new ideas with a long history of classic rock influences. While the music is distincly up-beat rock with a toe-tapping shuffle beat, the lyrical content is an attempt to express the bitter irony of being blinded by love in a light-hearted way. This is when you're looking back on it and laughing. My girlfriend thought this was a good way to kick off the CD. This is a basic rock 'n' roll song with two guitars, bass and drums. The addition of backing vocals and a witty turnaround make it a fun tune to sing and play. You might catch yourself humming this one on your way to work one day. Hopefully you'll be able to remember where you heard it! Lyrics I should have seen it In that look on your face I should have heard it In the things that you said I should have felt it In the feelings that weren’t there I should have known it From the way you brush your hair Chorus But I chose to believe in you For the heart is not wise Now I pay the penance I realize The cost of loving you The cost of loving you If I could go back Turn back the hands of time And start all over Run away from you this time For happiness Is elusive when you’re near And misery Is assured by your despair Chorus Why do I feel lonely? Why do I feel so ashamed? You’d have thought I’d feel happy To know you’re gone, so gone The cost of loving you Chorus
