The price i pay


My friend said she could see no way ahead
And I was probably better off without you
She said to face up to the fact that you weren't coming back
And she could make me happy like you used to
But I'm sorry to say I turned her away
Knowing everything she said was true
And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

There's something inside that hurts my foolish pride
To visit the places we used to go together
Not a day goes by that I don't sit and wonder why
Your feelings for me didn't last forever
Girl I love you so much that sometimes it's such
I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe
And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do
That's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

So keep that phone out of my way for the things I must say
Are empty if you don't believe they're true
And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do
That's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

I love you so much that baby it's such
I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe
And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Billy Bragg is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist born in Barking, Essex, in 1957. His music combines elements of folk, punk, and soul with politically and socially charged lyrics, aligning with the tradition of protest songs. Bragg began his musical career in the 1980s, influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. His direct style and incisive songs have won him a wide audience and established him as one of Britain's most important singer-songwriters. Among his most notable albums are "Brewing Up a Storm" (1986), "Talking with the Taxman About Poetry" (1989), and "Mermaid Avenue" (1998), a collaboration with Wilco and Ralph Stanley that revisits Woody Guthrie's unpublished songs. Bragg is also a politically active activist engaged in the fight for workers' rights and against social injustice. His music has always reflected his worldview and his civic commitment.
