Cheap Emotions

Now and then I’ve know pleasure, now and then I’ve known pain
But now it seems that all I do is all in vain
There’s always these who don’t half come it, who they are they know well
They play at life with tricks and lies, and I can tell
It’s cheap the way they carry on full of spite and so headstrong
To think that they could get somewhere instead of building castles in the air
With cheap emotion, and nothing more
It’s cheap emotion, and that’s for sure
You’ll look at me tears crocodile, oh so eager, «Honey, please,»
The way you turn on the heartache, oh yeah?
Well my heart bleeds
You see the truth is always shallow, the truth is always hard to bear
Maybe that‘s why we’re building ‘round us, so many castles in the air
It’s cheap and tough and so unfair, I suppose that’s the cross you’ve got to
bear
For cheap emotion, you get what for
With cheap emotion, nothing more
The way you go about things, oh very good indeed
But tongue in cheek devotion, is hardy what I need
With cheap emotion, nothing more
Cheap emotion, you get what for
Such cheap emotion, you just can’t win
With cheap emotion, it’s a crying shame
Cheap emotion, nothing more
Cheap emotion, you get what for
Cheap emotion, you just can’t win
Cheap emotion, it’s a crying shame
