You’ve been hurt by love before
And you don’t know why
You’ve been kicked while you’ve been down
And no one heard you cry

When are you ever going to learn
That love has its price
Take a look all around
Baby, it ain’t no paradise

But I got some news for you
Gonna tell you what to do
You’ve got to go back home

Some people say you’ve got to pay
For everything you get
But they’re the ones in the end
That are gonna lose their bet
Cuz the truest love you’re ever gonna find
Just can’t be bought
So you put your money away for another day
This love ain’t where you thought

But I got some news for you
Gonna tell you what to do
You’ve got to go back home

But in the end a sacrifice
Has got to be made
You can follow the dark or follow the light
But don’t get caught in the shade
