LOVE FOR SALE
(lyrics of this version)

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
When a 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's prepared 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'd like to buy my ways
follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale
