something you can t buy

Ricky Nelson

You can buy you a house and a big shiny car
You can go without but you won't get too far
'Cause you need someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright

And you get back what you're given
And love is something you can't buy

You can wear your fancy clothes and all those diamond rings
You can go where you go but it won't mean a thing
'Til you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright

And you get back what you're given
And love is something you can't buy

Your world is turnin' it's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you 'cause there's no one around.

You get everything you see then you wonder why
What you got you don't need and you can't be satisfied
'Til you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright

[chorus:]
And you get back what you're given
And love is something you can't buy
[repeat 3x]
