Lyrics
It's Just Commerce, It's Not Love - Male Version
Music and Lyrics by Doug Adair (ASCAP)
© 2008
Verse 1
If I could rescue you, you know I would
We both know it wouldn't do any good
You say you hate this dreadful life
You'd never be happy just being my wife
Chorus
It's just commerce, it's not love
Don't waste your time wishing on the stars above
You're doomed to learn all too soon enough
It's just commerce, it's not love
It's just commerce, it's not love
Verse 2
An irresistible urge compels you at night
Not the free flowing wine or the music and lights
It's the dangerous thrill of playing the game
Winning their hearts, barely knowing their names
Chorus
It's just commerce, it's not love
Don't waste your time wishing on the stars above
You're doomed to learn all too soon enough
It's just commerce, it's not love
It's just commerce, it's not love
Bridge
You either pay for it now or you pay for it later
The longer you wait, what you pay will be greater
Chorus
It's just commerce, it's not love
Don't waste your time wishing on the stars above
You're doomed to learn all too soon enough
It's just commerce, it's not love
It's just commerce, it's not love
