lyrics

LYRICS:
I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby.

Dream awhile, scheme awhile
You're sure to find

Happiness and I guess
All those things you've always pined for.

Gee I like to see you looking swell, baby.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell.

Till that lucky day you know darn well, baby.
I can't give you anything but love.
