Píseň: No Love For Free

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Back to the Night
You come to me trembling trembling 
Shaking at the knees 
You say you love me better than 
Anyone else can 
My head is spinning 
I'm flattered 
But I don't understand


Every passing hello 
How are you 
You want to know his name 
Just because I was there when you 
Needed a shoulder 
You think I'll take your name 
I love for money 
I'm flattered 
But I can't leave my trade


You will see me holding up some corner store 
In my twenties print 
And my thumb's turned out 
Yes I'm looking for a ride 
Jesus woke me up in some 
Strangers bed 
There are a lot like you 
They want to save my soul


Let me tell you 
This lady loves 
And she goes where she pleases 
No love for free
