My spirit is winging, my soul is free
I'm doing my drinking in good company
The music's screaming, my feet are flying
And everybody's laughing and nobody's crying
A sneak suspicion, it drags me down, a nagging feeling going around
Hearts for sale, going cheap, hearts for sale, lovers leap
My belly's full, my glass is brimming
The women look so beautiful and I feel like singing
The voice of conscience, the voice of reason
Is yacking in my plans, boy, I call that treason
Hearts for sale, they’re going cheap, hearts for sale, blood runs deep
I'm losing my willpower, my blood's running cold
My body's on pause, my mind's stuck on hold
What am I going to do about it?
A sneak suspicion, it drags me down, a nagging feeling going around
Hearts for sale, they’re going cheap, hearts for sale, blood runs deep
I don't need no doctor, I need a deputation
I’ll tell you, if you don't want my loving, you can just take my resignation
I'm under the hammer, I'm a full time worker, baby, I'm a real body slammer
Produced by Chris Kimsey & The Glimmer Twins
