lyrics

i've seen you watching me
i know you like what you see
but now the question is
what will you pay for this?

no, no, love is never free
at least not when you're loving me
if you want me to be true
you must pour out a drink or two

just pour out a drink or two
soon enough i'll be in love with you
but should your bottle run dry...

you think i was always like this?
trading schnapps for a romp and a kiss?
or maybe you just don't care
as long as you can buy your share

well, there's shares enough of me
each piece enough for three
but i'll save it all for you
if you pour out a drink or two

i was in love once, too
with a man who was nothing like you
he kissed me softly and loved me strongly
he walked with me in the park
and he listened to my voice in the dark
until god took him early and god took him wrongly
what will god pay for this?

each morning its the same
i hear his cries again
my soul will never break free
because i know it should have been me

so, pour out a drink or two
soon enough i'll be in love with you
but should your bottle run dry...

no, no, love is never free
at least not when you're loving me
if you want me to be true
you must pour out a drink or two

about

Alacartoona Kansas City, Missouri

Alacartoona's stage show is a visual extension of their all-original songbook. Utilizing a stripped down ensemble of accordion, bass, and drums, with the occasional guitar or brass, they bring to life vivid tales of love and loss, of bedrooms and back alleys, of the solitude and the camaraderie of sex, drugs and cabaret. ... more
