Ten cents a dance It's the only price to pay Why give 'em more When it's only love for sale? Adam and Eve It's the oldest game in town Just a one way street To a faded magazine Kiss and tell Money talks it never lies Kiss and tell Give and take eye for an eye Fever the heat of the night Dreamer stealer of sighs One public face In a private limousine Flash photograph It's the only light you see No secret life There's no secret you can steel Your lips are moving But I will never know What they mean Kiss and tell Money talks and love it burns Kiss and tell Give and take we live and learn Kiss and tell We never lie Eye foe an eye Blood on a nail Kiss me again
