I was treading very softly on a thin sheet of ice
she was lying very nicely on a smooth bed of rice
negoiating company and tryna find a price
exactly what her love was worth
She said "fifty bucks'll buy you a friend for the day
or a strange conversation, about how it all got this way"
What ever it's gonna cost me,
I'm willing to pay, and she said
"Love ain't worth nothin' till you give it away"

I was standing on the shoreline by the lake of Galilee,
He comes walkin' across the water, and he's staring at me
I said "Ain't you the guy who said
'love gets you free?
How much is your love really worth?
Half a million bucks or a boat
on the bay for a soul turnin' green
or a conscience turning grey!"
"What I'm really after you can't really afford to pay" and He said "Love ain't worth nothin' till you give it away..."

Now there's hookers at the hotel door and
they're tryna get in;
selling bodies like apples the original sin.
And the line between good and evil is getting pretty thin
so how much is love really worth...
I don't care what you think I don't care what you say
just a little bit of love goes a long long way
turn that water to wine, change that night into day because Love ain't worth nothin' till you give it away...
