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 The evening brings the action And the main attraction Love is a mood And a slip of the tongue But 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
