Love for Sale

[Intro]

Hit me

(Yeah)

Alright

[Verse 1]

When I got up this mornin', I rolled out of bed (Yeah)

I felt like this dog who's been kicked in the head (Ouch)

Checked out my mail, there was this letter that read

[Refrain]

It said, "Love for sale, love for sale"

[Verse 2]

I picked up the phone, at everyone I could

I let my fingers do the walkin' through the telephone book

You can't catch a fish if you ain't got the hook (Hook, yeah)

[Refrain]

I say no, love for sale, love for sale

[Verse 3]

Well, send up a signal and throw me a line

Somebody explain this funny Valentine

It might not be legal but it sure ain't a crime

Bein' one step from crazy, bein' two steps behind

I called Lieutenant Columbo from my TV set

I tried the Dating Game, I haven't found her yet

I'm hopin' that she lookin' like a Penthouse Pet

[Refrain]

(Say, hey) Love for sale, yeah, love for sale

[Guitar Solo]

(One more time)

[Verse 4]

Well we been living together, yeah, through the years

Two hours, twenty minutes, maybe four hundred beers

She says, "You can't shop for love when you're shoppin' at Sears"

[Refrain]

Love for sale, hey, love for sale

[Verse 5]

I guess I learned my lesson, it was easy to see

Well, my old lady, she played this joke on me

I never looked where I forgot it to be

[Refrain]

There for sale, l-l-love for sale

[Bridge]

Love for sale

Hey, love for sale (Got some love for sale, man)

Uh-uh, love for sale

My old lady locked it up (Your old lady really did that to you?)

Love for sale, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

(I'll start playin' the blues for you, man)

I got the blues

You should see her mama, ha

Wanna talk about the blues

[Refrain]

(Love for sale, hey) And her big brothers

(Love for sale, hey) They locked my ass up one night

(Love for sale, hey)

(I got love for sale) He brought a shotgun with him

[Interlude]

Hahahaha, is that what that was?

(That was a shotgun wedding right here) Uh-huh

Somebody get me a drink, ha

[Harmonica Solo]

(Oh, get that, now)

[Outro]

Aw-aw, Rich

(Uh-oh)

I gotta go

(How come, man)

I gotta go home, hahahaha

(You gotta go home to that woman?)

I dunno why, I gotta go home, man

That's, just let, just let's, let's just say that the record's done, okay?

(Ooh-whoo)

(Love for sale)
