Lyrics Cole Porter

Cole Porter

Love for Sale

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

The moon so long has been gazing down

on the warward ways of this wayward town

her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work

Love for sale

appetizing young love for sale

love thats fresh and still unspoiled

love thats 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 ways

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
