CHANNEL 3 LYRICS

"Can't Afford It"

Might as well call ahead

Turn off the church light

We’ll tell them that we’re staying out with our friends

We won’t be home tonight

Only stopped off to change

Left my wounded way

Took the old pamphlets out of my coat

You can’t be sure these days

Can’t be sure these days



Oh, I can’t afford it

Nothing left to lose



People have their needs

These are lonely days

Reach out their hearts like an open palm

Hunger is a pain

Set yourself up to fall

In trying to ease the pain

Don’t want to get hurt anymore

I’ll look the other way

Look the other way



Oh, I can’t afford it

Nothing left to lose



When I was younger, and I had a friend

Opened up my heart and spent my trust until the end

But things have changed and my friend’s not here

But that’s all past and tomorrow gets no tears



Please don’t ask of me

To fill some empty space

If I had something left, I’d give it to you

But that’s not the case

Got a busted light

No more love or hate

I spent too much on my young illusions

That was my mistake [x3] yea



Oh, I can’t afford it

Nothing left to do

Oh, I can’t afford it

Nothing left to lose
