Love is the law

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 learn 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
