Songs of Love

Songs Of Love -J.D.Souther

How can people spend such tears

On what's already been done

And now with time just one step behind us

We've so far yet to run

There will be no more disappointed heartaches left for me

My price is almost won

But those songs of love won't mean the same

As when we first begun

I was born a fool for treasure

I thought it was even in the rough

Ah but when the gold was in my hands

You know I tried for harder stuff

So all burdened down

You know I took my love to town

Hoping somebody

Somebody would just call my bluff

But those songs of love won't mean the same

As when we first begun

You know the world and all of it's pleasures

I guess they tempted me far too young

And I know I've been wrong on so many songs

That I must have been right in one

Oh what a price to pay

Just for winning this way

Now those songs of love won't mean the same

As when we first begun

As when we first begun
