Love For Sale Lyrics - Billie Holiday

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 slightly 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.
