What time of day is this
Aw you really look a mess
Clean down the tables and help out on the door
It's just no good to me if you're in ecstacy
Running all night with that boyfriend of yours

Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Empties the tills
And it don't pay the bills
It'll do you no good

Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Empties your stocks
And it leaves you on the rocks

It'll do you no good

You better wipe that Mona Lisa smile off your face
Clean up these broken dishes and scrub down the floor
Wipe the stars out of your eyes, there's a job to do
And you've been dreaming for three weeks or more

Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Drives you insane, but you'll do it all again
It'll do you no good

Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Pawn everything just to buy her a ring
It'll do you no good

Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Empties your tills
It don't pay your bills
It'll do you no good

Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Runs down your stocks
And it leaves you on the rocks
It'll do you no good

Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Love is bad for business
Whoah oh oh oh
