Love For Sale Lyrics - Simply Red

Love for Sale 

Billie Holiday, Cole Porter 

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.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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.
