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. 
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 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.
