Not a Moment Too Soon - Love, Market and Morality

She waived at me through the window
Crossword puzzle on the floor
She smiled at me through her lipstick
And I walked in the door
Up close, life's wear and tear's cruel toll
Two jobs, three kids and maybe more
She needed the make-up after all
You get what you pay for

It ain't no sin to buy some loving
Ain't no transgression to sell affection
Shouldn't be lawless to trade in tenderness
But sure is a crime to miss a rhyme

We sell our bodies through our labor
She sold hers through the night
She'd hoped for better, I don't blame her
Loved but commodified
Free trade ordained our weekly trysts
My demand her supply
Still I loved her like a therapist
Been blue since she retired

It ain't no sin to buy some loving
Ain't no transgression to sell affection
Two willing bodies can't be wrong
I thought I'd put it in a song
