Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can, but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd
 
And that's the price of love
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
And that's the price of love
The price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame
 
Kiss one girl, kiss another
Kiss them all, but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last
 
And that's the price of love
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
And that's the price of love
The price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

Lyrics

These are the lyrics of the song as performed by Depeche Mode.

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can, but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd

And that's the price of love
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
And that's the price of love
The price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

Kiss one girl, kiss another
Kiss them all, but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last

And that's the price of love
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
And that's the price of love
The price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame
