Lyrics for Song: Love Is A Song (Your Love Is Cold) (1932)
Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 7-(1931-32) [1991]
Love is just a song, anybody can try that wants to try.
Love is just a song, anybody can try that wants to try.
'Cause love is only a fake nowadays, 'cause love is something you can't buy.
Love is just like playin' the numbers, you got one chance out a million times.
Love is just like playing the numbers, you got a one chance out a million times.
You'll put all you money on one ninety-eight, and out pops one ninety-nine.
Now, love you have to buy, it don't mean a thing to you.
If you got to buy your love, it don't mean a thing to you.
As soon as your money 's all gone, she's lookin' for another chump that's new.
Love you have to buy, you just deceivin' yourself.
Love you have to buy, you ain't givin' justice to yourself.
The same love you have bought, has been sold many times to someone else.
If a woman sticks with you when you down, that 's real love, don't drive her away.
If a woman sticks with you when you down, that 's real love, don't drive her away.
'Cause now days, a real woman ain't found every day.
