Discover the story of the song > Never Been Sold Before – Alice Cooper

The lyrics are about a person, referred to as "he," who is being asked by his partner if he can work tonight. He has been awake since early in the morning and can't believe that she is trying to sell him. He refuses to become her "whore." He feels tired of the streets and people and is also tired of her. He has never been sold before and doesn't want to be taken advantage of again. He repeats this sentiment several times in the song.
