Channel 3 - Can't Afford It lyrics

Might as well call ahead To 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 ways Took the old pamphlets out of my coat You can't be sure these days You can't be sure these days You 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 I'll look the other way I'll look the other way Oh, I can't afford it Nothing left to do 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 That was my mistake That was my mistake Oh, I can't afford it Nothing left to do Oh, I can't afford it Nothing left to lose Oh, I can't afford it Nothing left to do Oh, I can't afford it Nothing left to lose
