Love For Tender Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Love For Tender Lyrics

    You won't take my love for tender
    You can put your money where your mouth is
    But you're so unsure
    I could be a miser or a big spender
    But you might get much more than you bargained for

    Check in on a checkmate
    Grassing on a classmate
    So beautiful and fortunate
    You're the one who hates to love
    But he's the one who loves to hate
    He can fix you all for good
    Because he is the neighbourhood
    You can get money for blood
    Blood money for doing no good

    Better tell me now, have you made your selection?
    Are you ready for correction?
    Cause the wages of sin are an expensive infection
    It'll make you bankrupt
    Better pay up now, don't interrupt
    So in love, i'm so sincere
    Just like a well-known financier
    You know i've never been corrupt

    I'll pay you a compliment
    And you'll think i am innocent
    You can total up the balance sheet
    And never know if i'm a counterfeit
    You won't take my love for tender...
