i can t give you anything but love

Marlene Dietrich

Gee, but it s tough to be broke, kid
It s not a joke, kid, it s a curse
My luck is changing, it s gotten from
simply rotten to something worse

Who knows, some day I will win too
I ll begin to reach my prime

Now though I see what our end is
All I can spend is just my time

I can t give you anything but love, baby
That s the only thing I ve plenty of, baby

Dream awhile, scheme awhile
We re sure to find
Happiness and I guess
All those things you ve always pined for

Gee I d like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn t sell, baby
Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby
I can t give you anything but love

Rome wasn t built in a day, kid
You have to pay, kid, for what you get
But I am willing to wait, dear
Your little mate, dear, will not forget

You have a lifetime before you
I ll adore you, come what may
Please don t be blue for the present
When it s so pleasant to hear you say

I can t give you anything but love, baby
That s the only thing I ve plenty of, baby
Dream awhile, scheme awhile
We re sure to find

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

Gee I d like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn t sell, baby
Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby
I can t give you anything but love
