Searching for Love
Wei Wei Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town
That her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work
Love for sale, appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled

Love that's only slightly soiled, love for sale
Who will buy? Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price, for a trip to
paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way
I know every type of love better far than they
If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the
mill of love
Old love, new love every love but true love
Love for sale, appetizing young love for sale
If you want to buy my wares follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way
I know every type of love better far than they
If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the
mill of love
Old love, new love every love but true love
Love for sale, appetizing young love for sale

If you want to buy my wares follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale, love for sale, love for sale

Overall Meaning

Wei Wei's "Looking for Love" is a cover of the famous jazz standard "Love for Sale," originally written by Cole Porter. The song tells the story of a woman selling her love to anyone willing to buy it, highlighting the commodification of love and relationships. The lyrics describe a lonely, deserted street at night, and in this environment, the singer opens shop and begins advertising her love for sale. She promises various types of love, from old to new, but states that true love is not among the options. Instead, she invites potential buyers to follow her and climb the stairs, indicating that these temporary, transactional relationships are all that is available in this world.

The lyrics are complex and nuanced, highlighting societal issues of commodification, loneliness, and desperation. Wei Wei's version of the song adds an element of glamor to the story, with her sultry voice and the accompanying jazz instrumentation. However, the overall message remains, urging the listener to contemplate the value of love and relationships outside of a capitalist framework.

Overall, Wei Wei's interpretation of "Love for Sale" is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of love and society's influence on it.

Line by Line Meaning

When the only sound in the empty street Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet That belong to a lonesome cop I open shop
I start my business of selling love only when there are no other sounds in the street except for the footsteps of a lonely police officer.

When the moon so long has been gazing down On the wayward ways of this wayward town That her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work
I start selling love when the moon has been watching over the town for a long time, and its smile turns into a smirk as if mocking the town's troublesome ways.

Love for sale, appetizing young love for sale Love that's fresh and still unspoiled Love that's only slightly soiled, love for sale Who will buy? Who would like to sample my supply? Who's prepared to pay the price, for a trip to paradise? Love for sale
I am offering love for sale, which is tempting and fresh, and hasn't been tainted much. I ask who is interested in trying or buying my supply and who is willing to pay for the chance to experience paradise through love.

Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way I know every type of love better far than they If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the mill of love Old love, new love every love but true love
Poets may sing about love, but I possess firsthand knowledge of every possible love and its ways, far more profound than any poet. I know all forms of love, but not genuine love.

If you want to buy my wares follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale
If anyone desires to buy my love, they should follow me, and I will lead them to where they can purchase it.

Love for sale, love for sale, love for sale
I am repeating that I am selling love and emphasizing this fact.
