It comes and goes
Ebbs and flows
Love’s a profession
Plied beneath the moon
It waits and watches
Weaves and dodges
Catch it like a cold
No one is immune
And every night
There’s a busy trade
Love is the law
That must be obeyed
And every day
The price is paid
Love is the law
And a trick of the trade
Love is the law, love is the law
From wiser lips
I’ve heard it said
“Love is a profession
As old as time
Watch it and learn it
Study it and earn it
You’ve a head for business
And a heart for crime”
And every night
There’s a busy trade
Love is the law
That must be obeyed
And every day
The price is paid
Love is the law
And a trick of the trade
Love is the law
But you can’t regulate it
The desire is so strong
And you won’t moderate it
That one’s a gambler
This one’s a thief
Both make it easy
And that’s a relief
Such happy days spent in idleness
Now the sea is warm and the wine is young
Evening brings the action
And the main attraction
Love is a mood
And a slip of the tongue
While every night
There’s a busy trade
Love is the law
That must be obeyed
And every day
The price is paid
Love is the law
And a trick of the trade
Love is the law
But you can’t regulate it
The desire is so strong
And you won’t moderate it
That one’s a gambler
This one’s a thief
Both make it easy
And that’s a relief
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
