Testo No Change - Melba Montgomery
Testo della canzone No Change (Melba Montgomery), tratta dall'album First Ladies of Country
My little boy came into the kitchen this evening
While I was fixin' supper
And he handed me a piece of paper he had been writin' on
And after wiping my hands on my apron, I read it and this is what it said
For mowin' the yard 5 dollars
And for makin' my own bed this week, 1 dollar
And for goin' to the store, 50 cents
And for playin' with my little brother while you went shoppin', 25 cents
Taking out the trash, 1 dollar
Gettin' a good report card, 5 dollars
And for rakin' the yard, 2 dollars
Total owed 14.75
Well, I looked at him standing there expectantly and a thousand mem'ries flashed through my mind
So I picked up the pen and turning the paper over
This is what i wrote;
For the nine months I carried you, growin' inside me. No charge
For the nights I sat up with you.
Doctored you, prayed for you. No charge
For the time and the tears and the cost through the years. There's no charge
When you add it all up, the full cost of my love is no charge
For the nights filled with dread and the worry of hate. No charge
For the thoughts and the knowledge and the cost of your college. No charge
For the toys, food and clothes and for wiping your nose. There's no charge, son
When you add it all up the full cost of my love is no charge
Well, when he finished readin' it, he had great, big, ol' tears in his eyes
And he looked up at me and said "Momma, I sure do love you."
And he took the pen and in great big letters wrote, paid in full
When you add it all up the full cost of real love is no charge
