There's a late night diner on the south side of town Pretty girls on Fridays should never hang around But the lady two seats over is sitting there crying all alone And if she's here at this hour it must be hell on her at home And I'm not trying to know your business I'm not trying to change your life It costs a lot to love somebody And I know because I had to pay the price I finished up my coffee and put my dollar down to leave If I was a few years younger she'd be coming home with me If that'd be the bad decision I'd made one too many times You know we might be forgiven, I'm just not good company tonight And I'm not trying to know your business I'm not trying to change your life It costs a lot to love somebody And I know because I had to pay the price It costs a lot to love somebody And I know because I had to pay the price
