|
When the only sound in 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,
|
Appetising young love for sale.
|
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
|
Love that's only slightly soiled,
|
Love for sale.
|
Who will buy?
|
Who would 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.
|
|
Appetising young love for sale.
|
If you want to buy my wares.
|
Follow me and climb the stairs
|
Love for sale.
|
Love for sale.
|
