"Sacrifice" lyrics

"Sacrifice"

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptations strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes a callin'
And negativity lands

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all

No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all

The meaning of this song was explained by Elton John's lyricist Bernie Taupin in Music Connection magazine before the song's release, "It's a simple lyric, but it's an intelligent adult lyric. It's basically about the rigors of adult love, and it's a million miles away from 'Your Song'."
This single was released in 1989, but could reach only the 55th position in the UK. Only after it was re-issued as a double A-side single with the song "Healing Hands", could it reach the top in the summer of 1990.
This song was the first Elton John's solo number-one hit in the UK.
The music video for this song features Chris Isaak as one of the main characters.
