Lyrics Elvis Costello – Love For Tender

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

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…
