Love Without Greed Songtext
von Graham Parker & The Rumour

I can see a man well dressed and tanned
Collecting you in secret in a long sedan

I can hear you laugh at all his jokes
Taking everything that′s offered until it chokes

And it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can′t have love without greed
Without greed

He may get your kiss and believe that it's his
But you know baby I hit your heart where where the others only missed

You can ease your heat in a penthouse suite
While I'm in a hotel with some hanger-on under those dirty sheets


And it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can′t own the flesh and blood I need
Can′t have love without greed

Love without greed would give me some hope
When I reach out in the night and grope
But there's nothing there but the next day coming in

And the alarm bell goes: ring ring ring ring ring
It goes ring ring ring ring ring
It goes ring ring ring ring ring

You can ease your heat in a penthouse suite
While I′m in a hotel with some hanger-on under those dirty sheets

You know it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can′t have love without greed

Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can′t have love without greed


Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can't have love without greed
Can′t have love without greed
