MY LITTLE GIRL
CAME UP TO ME
IN THE KITCHEN
THIS EVENIN'
WHILE I WAS FIXIN'
SUPPER
AND SHE HANDED ME
A PIECE OF PAPER
SHE'D BEEN
WRITIN' ON AND
AFTER WIPIN' MY HANDS
ON MY APRON
I READ IT
AND THIS IS
WHAT IT SAID
22 BAR
VOCAL BREAK
WELL I LOOKED AT HER
STANDING THERE
EXPECTANTLY
AND A THOUSAND
MEMORIES FLASHED
THROUGH MY MIND
AND SO
I PICKED UP THE PEN
AND TURNIN'
THE PAPER OVER
THIS IS WHAT I WROTE
FOR THE NINE MONTHS
I CARRIED YOU
GROWIN' INSIDE ME
NO CHARGE
FOR THE NIGHTS
I'VE SAT UP WITH YOU
DOCTORED YOU
PRAYED FOR YOU
NO CHARGE
FOR THE TOYS
FOOD AND CLOTHES
AND FOR
WIPIN' YOUR NOSE
THERE'S NO CHARGE
WHEN YOU
ADD IT ALL UP
THE FULL COST
OF MY LOVE
IS NO CHARGE
WELL
WHEN SHE FINISHED
READIN'
SHE HAD GREAT BIG OL'
TEARS IN HER EYES AND
SHE LOOKED UP
AT ME AND SAID
THEN SHE TOOK THE PEN
AND IN GREAT BIG
LETTERS
SHE WROTE
PAID IN FULL
WHEN YOU ADD IT
ALL UP
THE COST OF REAL LOVE
IS NO CHARGE
