Whatever it costs,
Don’t make it feel like something else,
Than what you bought,
The bargain is true,
And only for you,
But it gets lost, it gets lost,
In war and money,
In old words with new meaning,
In banks and in policy,
In laws and in small print.
Your hair is nice,
The colour of auburn and blonde,
And you grow it so, so long,
You hippy Queen,
Your mother made a mint from modelling,
Now you can spend it as you please,
This place is nice, in an old-fashioned way,
They treat you right, just as long as you can pay,
Why would you want to leave anyway?
Why would you deny yourself the gain?
Trust in luck, the lucky people say,
Trust in luck to pay,
Whatever it costs,
Don’t make it feel like something else,
Than what you bought,
The bargain is true,
And only for you,
But it gets lost, it gets lost,
In youth, and all that comes,
In riches, and lean-on-me months,
In hate, and enveloped in love,
The small print will carry on.
