Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Love for Tender (demo) 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 Gra**ing on a cla**mate 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...
