[Verse 1]
All your friends will say
All the wrong things they can tell you
It's an easy trade
These things like good's to by himself, but they're wrong
Rather keep you down, keep you as a wrong

Baby I didn't lie
I've run out of hope, I'll be here anytime
It's what you had in mind
Takin' it slowly, waitin' for a sign

What a man won't do, to get what he wants
Break his back, will break another man's nose in two
But I'm afraid
There's gotta be some other way

[Chorus]
When you get bought and sold
When the trade winds blow

[Verse 2]
Don't you think there's anything to fear?
No need, they'll tell you anything you wanna hear
No you're not alone
Sit right there, don't go
Lady you're my kind
And everybody knows it, stay here for a while
Yeah maybe it ain't right
When one door closes there's another door behind

[Chorus]
Look who's gettin' bought and sold
When the trade winds blow
When the trade winds blow

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Baby you gotta try
Givin' me a go, leavin' them behind
Yeah I wouldn't lie
But I'm runnin' out of hope, waitin' for a sign

[Chorus]
When you're gettin' bought and sold
When the trade winds blow

[Outro]
Ah la la, la la la
Ah la la, ooh
Ah la la, la la la
Ah la la, ooh
Winds gonna blow
Winds gonna blow
Winds gonna blow
Winds gonna blow
