One, two, three How could you rob me blind When I thought I was a navigator I thought I could read the signs You were sending up flares Red and gold everywhere I remember my hand Thinking I had a chance Reaching out for a dance In the fiery air Now I can't afford The cost of this living Your love was a luxury you took from me This poverty has made me so broken And I can't afford the cost of living If you don't pay me no attention I don't know what grows From these tears that hit the ground (ho-hoo-oh) No shoulder to cry on (ho-hoo-oh) No comfort in the sound And I can't afford The cost of this living Your love was a luxury you took from me This poverty has made me so broken And the debt of this loss Too heavy to mention Now I can't afford the cost of living If you don't pay me no attention Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-oh-ooh Ooh-oh-ooh Now I can't afford The cost of this living Your love was a luxury you took from me This poverty has made me so broken And the debt of this loss Too heavy to mention Now I can't afford the cost of living If you don't pay me no attention
