Love Held for Ransom

Not a revelation, got a hostage situation
And there's no negotiation when the price don't change
Holding your affection like it gives you some protection
While you aim in my direction with another claim

I can see where this always leads
Talkin' 'bout your lovin', but it don't come free

You sent your demands in the form of a letter
Workin' on your plan, did it make you feel better?
Try to justify the damage that you done (done)
But nothing good can come from a love held for ransom

Now you tell me what you're missin', then you add a new condition
Well, I've never seen you givin' with no strings attached
Say it's not extortion, but you know I got a notion
Just to pack up my emotions where they can't be cashed

And I know where this always goes
Talkin' 'bout your lovin' and how much I owe

You sent your demands in the form of a letter
Workin' on your plan, did it make you feel better?
Try to justify the damage that you done (done)
But nothing good can come from a love held for ransom

You sent your demands in the form of a letter
Workin' on your plan, did it make you feel better?
Try to justify the damage that you done (done)
But nothing good can come from a love held for ransom
