Cannot Afford

Lyrics and Music: Kevin W. Shaffer

A shift to the left and a step to the right

Running away and holding on tight

Making believe that it’s all right

It couldn’t be better than it is tonight

It’s been going on forever

No I think this could be the start

And I can’t afford to love you

Cannot afford being apart, cannot afford being apart

The heat of the day could be the night

Praying, for a little daylight

It’s sugar and spice and everything nice

Poured down a well of sacrifice

It’s been going on forever

No I think this could be the start

And I can’t afford to love you

Cannot afford being apart, cannot afford being apart

Oh……..

One drop in and one drop out

Sometimes I think I know what this is about

Heaven is up and something’s down below

Hell hath no fury and I oughta know

It’s been going on forever

No I think this could be the start

And I can’t afford to love you

Cannot afford being apart, cannot afford being apart
