I Can't Give You Anything But Love lyrics

Jee, 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 darn well, baby,

I can't give you anything but love.
