There's a price tag on your heart
And I ain't got a dime
And I can't afford to fall in love with you
It's tearing me apart wishing you were mine
There's one thing I'm asking you to do.

Won't you lay away your heart
I know I'll find a way
I'll sacrifice to meet the price
Your asking me to pay
Won't you lay away your heart
Before another comes along
And tries to buy the merchandise
I've wanted for so long.

There's a price tag on your heart
And I ain't got a dime
But somehow I believe the payments due
My credits good to start and I'll pay it off in time
With all the loving that I have for you.

Won't you lay away your heart
I know I'll find a way
I'll sacrifice to meet the price
Your asking me to pay
Won't you lay away your heart
Before another comes along
And tries to buy the merchandise
I've wanted for so long.

Won't you lay away your heart
I know I'll find a way
I'll sacrifice to meet the price your asking me to pay
Whoa, won't you lay away your heart
Before another comes along
And tries to buy the merchandise
I've wanted for so long
