[Verse 1]
One heart one other
They met last summer
One move she started
Now they love this way
The pain of pleasure
Lying together
You're at their mercy
As the telephone ringing on
No one said there'd be nights like this
Risk your life for a stolen kiss

[Chorus]
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love

[Verse 2]
Each move goes so slow
Until the doors close
No secret codes now
No words as baby goes down
One last dance then goodbye
Practicing his love lies
He runs to his wife
And you're left holding the knife
You live your life to take that chance
When you're a master of the art of romance
And you know you won't cross that line
Until that last slow dance

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Alone our lonely hearts would die
It's all in the game
And the way that it's played
There's no time to wonder why
To catch you when you fall
Answer when you call
No one can hear you cry

[Chorus]
