Loveless Love (1958 version)

[Verse 1]
Love is a like a gold brick in a Bunco game
Like a banknote with a bogus name
Both have caused many downfalls
Love has done the same

[Verse 2]
Love has for its emblem Cupid with his bow
Loveless love has lots and lots of dough
So carry lots of jack
And pick ‘em as you go

[Chorus]
For love, oh love, oh loveless love
Has set our hearts on goalless goals
From silkless silk and milkless milk
We all growing used to soulless souls

[Verse 3]
Love is like a hydrant, it turns off and on
Like some friendships when your money's gone
Love stands in with the loan sharks
When your heart's gone

[Chorus]
For love, oh love, oh loveless love
You set our hearts on goalless goals
With dreamless dreams and schemeless schemes
We wreck our love boats on the shoals

[Verse 4]
We S.O.S. by wireless wire
And in the wreckage of desire
We sigh for wings like Noah's dove
Just to fly away from loveless love
