cheap desires never sell
old displays are worn and discolored
shopping for love can be tedious
it's new infatuation or an old flicker
stealing love won't pamper all
feeling less may solve the problem
borrowed sentiments lie to some
tears won't solve the cheap dilemma
dreams are better with no interruptions
floating passion lasts so much longer
