[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 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)
