I never knew the "have love will travel" part (I always thought it was "I'm no real/rich/witch doctor") But then reading the lyrics, I have absolutely no idea what this song's about.
Love for sale, by it's title, implies prostitution but the lyrics deal with loss, dependency and possibly addiction. I'd say it's an "anti-drug" song, but it's so indirect it could (like many "great" lyrics) mean anything.
My best guess - it's a warning. When you're desperate, you can turn to synthetic means for comfort (I'm thinking drugs, but, whatever) and it'll certainly cure what ails you, but there's "one price" which is probably as bad, or worse, than the initial condition.
