| They met in the back of a bar somewhere outside Atlanta
|
| And she gave him a wink when he ordered a whiskey on ice
|
| She said, «Cowboy, I don’t trust you one little bit»
|
| He said, «You should go back to the man that you’re with here tonight»
|
| Here tonight
|
| Here tonight
|
| And she said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| I don’t know how much I’m going to lose in this fight
|
| I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
|
| Seven days later she came to his door with the letters
|
| That she wrote late at night as she tried not to cry in her room
|
| She said, «Somewhere inside I know you’re a good man»
|
| He said, «I try to hide it as best as I can»
|
| It’s too soon
|
| Way too soon
|
| And he said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| I don’t know how much it’s going to damage my pride
|
| I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
|
| Many years later he met her alone on a sidewalk
|
| She asked «Are you still drinking whiskey, or have you moved on?»
|
| He said, «I'm not the man that I was when we met»
|
| She said, «I'm not the woman I was way back then. |
| We were young, way too young»
|
| And they both said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| I don’t know how much I’m going to lose in this fight
|
| I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
|
| Cause they both said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| But I wanna know what it’s like when you kiss me goodnight
|
| I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
|
| But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try
|
| Baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try» |
