George Jones - No Charge lyrics

rate me

Tammy & Tina

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 writing on, and

After wiping my hands on my apron I read it

And this is what she said.

For mowing the yard - five dollars

For making my own bed this week - one dollar

Going to the store - fifty cents

Playing with my sister while you went to the store

Twenty-five cents

Taking out the trash one dollar

Getting a good report card - five dollards

And for raking the yard - two dollars

Total of fourteen dollas and seventy-five cents.

Well, I looked at her standing there expectantly

And a found memory flashed through my mind

And so I picked up the pen and turning the paper

Over this is what I wrote.

For the 9 months I carried you

Growin' inside of me no charge

For the nights I sat up with you

Doctored and prayed for you no chrage

For the toys that you chose

And for wiping you nose there's no charge

When you add it all up the full cost of my love

Is no charge.

Well, when she finished reading she had

Great big old tears in her eyes and she looked

up at me and said mommy I sure do love you

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...
