Now our little boy came up to his mum in the kitchen this evenin'
While she was fixin' supper
And he handed her a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' her hands on her apron
She read it - and this is what it said

For mowin' the lown 5 dollars
For makin' my own bed this week 1 dollar
For going to the store 50 cents
For playin' with my little brother while you went shoppin' 25 cents
For taking out the trash 1 dollar
For gettin' a good report card 5 dollars
And for rakin' the yard 2 dollars
Total amount owed 14 dollars and 75 cents

Well as mama looked at him standin' there expectanly
And I could see the memories flashin' through her mind
And so she picked up the pen and turnin' the paper over
This is what she wrote and I read it to him

For the nine months she carried you
growing inside her no charge
For the nights we sat up with you
doctoring you praying for you no charge
For the time and the tears
that you've caused through the years there's no charge
When you added all up
the full cost of our love is no charge

For the nights filled with dread
and the worries ahead no charge
For advice and for knowledge
and the cost of your college no charge
For the toys food and clothes and for wiping your nose
there's no charge
When you added all up
the full cost of our love is no charge

Well when I finished readin'
he had big tears in his eyes
And he looked up at his mother and he said
"Mama I sure do love you"
Then he took the pen
and in great big letter
He wrote PAID IN FULL

When you added all up
the cost of real love is no charge
