Love for Sale
Jean-Paul Elysée Pierre Boussaguet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it




But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jean-Paul Elysée Pierre Boussaguet's song "Love for sale" are actually borrowed from the popular song "I'm in the mood for love," originally composed by Jimmy McHugh with lyrics by Dorothy Fields. In this rendition, Boussaguet's smooth, sultry bassline serves as the perfect backbone for the song's romantic sentiment. The singer expresses that they are in the mood for love simply because their love interest is near them - in other words, the presence of the person they love puts them in a euphoric state of mind. The lyrics suggest that being in love can make even the mundane things in life seem extraordinary.


The second verse seems to focus on the physicality of the person the singer is in love with - they describe heaven being in their eyes and their brightness akin to the stars. The singer marvels at the wonder of being in love with such a person, and seems not to want to examine too deeply the possibility that their love might not last. The final lines of the song demonstrate a carefree attitude towards the future - even if there are clouds or rainy weather, they want to fully embrace their love in the present moment.
