Note; if you are not able to download the digital recording of this song, please enjoy the lyrics as a poem. 

   I attended an Al-Anon meeting one night led by a woman with a great "program." This lady led on the topic of setting boundaries. She struggled and struggled during her "lead" to describe how she felt when interacting with her husband.

   That night I ruminated about her words. I finally wrote the song below in an attempt to express her thoughts and feelings through my music. It turned out to be a sort of sassy female vocal. The opening line always gets a huge laugh when quoted at meetings.

   Hope you enjoy this.

Love At Any Price

You don't ev-en treat me nice;

I'm buyin' loooove,

At an-y price!

Do I love you?

Is that the question?

Do I need you,

In my sick way?

Do I want you,

That's more the question,

But the bot-tom line,

Is do I stay?

(spoken..."like a brok-en record, over and over and over and over and over and over again).

Why do I put up with you?

You don't ev-en hold me nights.

I'm buyin' looooove,

At a-ny price.

Looooooove,

At too high a price.

Your lov'es too high

For meeeeeeeeeeeee.

At an-y price!

(spoken...I wake up in the mornin', over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, and...)
