Cheaper to Keep Her (Marvin Shelton)

VERSE
I guess I was broke, I never paid attention 
To what mattered most. She needed my affection
At my expense, I ignored her too long 
In my defense, I learned before she moved on

CHORUS
Well, they say you can’t put a price on love 
But I would beg to differ 
No mountain we climbed was ever too tough
We drove through every river 
Well, I assessed the consequence and factored in a broken heart 
In other words, I’d come to terms, I needed to play my part 
I’m in love with her still just bring me the bill, that’s a price I’m a-willin’ to pay 
No, I’m never gonna leave her, gonna fall in love deeper 
it’s a whole lot cheaper to keep her

VERSE
It was no sacrifice, when I learned the value 
Of those big mud tires and faded two tone blue 
I saw a big return on my investment 
E’ry heartbeat’s worth, on her rebuilt transmission

CHORUS
Well, they say you can’t put a price on love 
But I would beg to differ 
No mountain we climbed was ever too tough
We drove through every river 
Well, I assessed the consequence and factored in a broken heart 
In other words, I’d come to terms, I needed to play my part 
I’m in love with her still just bring me the bill, that’s a price I’m a-willin’ to pay 
No, I’m never gonna leave her, gonna fall in love deeper 
it’s a whole lot cheaper to keep her

½ CHORUS
I’m in love with her still just bring me the bill, that’s a price I’m a-willin’ to pay 
No, I’m never gonna leave her, gonna fall in love deeper 
it’s a whole lot cheaper to keep her 
No, I’m never gonna leave her, gonna fall in love deeper, 
it’s a whole lot, a Hella lot, I said a whole lot cheaper to keep her
