There's a stack of bills sittin' on the kitchen table
Next to catalogs of all the things we can't buy
And the dress I bought you for your birthday
Ain't got no fancy ribbons
But when you slip it on and fix your hair
You're a princess in my eyes
Oh, love, love, love don't cost a thing
No matter what, what, what this life might bring
If I'm holdin' you then I've got everything
You make this dirt-poor country boy feel like a king
No, love don't cost a thing
The car we drive don't look like much of nothin'
The bar we use don't break when we turn the key
The tires look bare and the don't work
The whole damn thing is rusted
But it feels just like a Cadillac
When you're ridin' next to me
Oh, love, love, love don't cost a thing
No matter what, what, what this life might bring
Sittin' next to you, baby, I've got everything
And this old Ford, yeah, it flies like it's got wings
No, love don't cost a thing
No, love don't cost a thing
When we were young
I promised you the world and you believed
I look how far we haven't come
You say, "That's alright with me
'Cause love is all we need"
Oh, and love, love, love don't cost a thing
No matter what, what, what this life might bring
If I'm holdin' you, baby, I've got everything
When the love is true, it don't need no diamond ring
No, love don't cost a thing
No, love don't cost a thing
