Love For Sale

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When the only sound on the empty street

Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet

That belong to a lonesome cop

I open shop

When the moon so long has been gazing down

On the wayward ways of this wayward town

That her smile becomes a smirk

I go to work

Love for sale

Appetizing, young love for sale.

Love that's fresh and still unspoiled.

Love that's only slighty soiled.

Love for sale.

Who will buy?

Who will like to sample my supply?

Who's prepared to pay the price

For a trip to paradise?

Love for sale.

Let the poets pipe of love

In their childish way.

I know every type of love

Better far than they.

If you want the thrill of love

I've been through the mill of love.

Old love. new love.

Every love, but true love.

Love for sale.

Appetizing young love for sale.

If you want to buy my wares,

Follow me and climb the stairs.

Love for sale.

Love for sale
