Lyrics
SPENDING A DOLLAR
by Tommy Patterson
Love has risks, we took a chance, and it's not all bad
We have some pleasant memories of the good times we both had
But now it seems we've grown apart and we're just wasting time
We've been SPENDING A DOLLAR trying to save a dime
CHORUS: Don't look away there's a part of you that I'll always miss
There's a part of me sad and blue because it's come to this
But emotional security is something we can't buy
And we've been SPENDING A DOLLAR trying to save a dime
We invested time and effort trying to save our love
Sometimes it's been a struggle and now it's not enough
It's time to close our love account, heed the warning signs
We've been SPENDING A DOLLAR trying to save a dime
CHORUS: Don't look away there's a part of you that I'll always miss
There's a part of me sad and blue because it's come to this
But emotional security is something we can't buy
And we've been SPENDING A DOLLAR trying to save a dime
We've been SPENDING A DOLLAR trying to save a dime
