[Dolly Parton - Love Isn’t Free lyrics]
The neon lights of a movie marquee
Says the show today is Love Is Free
And inside a boy and a girl on a date
Their folks are gone away
They're going to stay out late
A little later on in a lover's lane
They park in the dark with
Their hearts in flames
He says "oh baby go along with me
I need you so and love is free"
In a simple little room in a Chattanooga home
For girls that need a friend
And are all alone
She wait's for a letter that never comes
From a boy that won't admit what he's done
She had to leave school because
She couldn't stand the shame
Her daddy said she ruined the family name
Her mama cries herself to sleep at night
That's no way to start a young girl's life
Love isn't free, no it ain't free
No matter what they say somebody
Has to pay for love
In an orphanage home, a sad little girl
Six years old and all alone in the world
She knows by now what they never say
That she once had a mama
But she gave her away
People come to visit but don't choose Marie
She cries at the door "nobody loves me"
And somewhere a boy doesn't care at all
That her tears at night stains
Her little rag doll
Love isn't free, no it ain't free
No matter what they say somebody
Has to pay for love no matter what they say
Look who's paying for love
Says the show today is Love Is Free
And inside a boy and a girl on a date
Their folks are gone away
They're going to stay out late
A little later on in a lover's lane
They park in the dark with
Their hearts in flames
He says "oh baby go along with me
I need you so and love is free"
In a simple little room in a Chattanooga home
For girls that need a friend
And are all alone
She wait's for a letter that never comes
From a boy that won't admit what he's done
She had to leave school because
She couldn't stand the shame
Her daddy said she ruined the family name
Her mama cries herself to sleep at night
That's no way to start a young girl's life
Love isn't free, no it ain't free
No matter what they say somebody
Has to pay for love
In an orphanage home, a sad little girl
Six years old and all alone in the world
She knows by now what they never say
That she once had a mama
But she gave her away
People come to visit but don't choose Marie
She cries at the door "nobody loves me"
And somewhere a boy doesn't care at all
That her tears at night stains
Her little rag doll
Love isn't free, no it ain't free
No matter what they say somebody
Has to pay for love no matter what they say
Look who's paying for love
