Love for Tender — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

You wont take my love for tender

You can put your money where your mouth is

But youre 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

Youre the one who hates to love

But hes 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

Itll make you bankrupt

Better pay up now, dont interrupt

So in love, Im so sincere

Just like a well-known financier

You know Ive never been corrupt



Ill pay you a compliment

And youll think I am innocent

You can total up the balance sheet

And never know if Im a counterfeit

You wont take my love for tender...
