I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE, BABY

from MY FOOLISH HEART by Tony O'Malley

/

lyrics

MUSIC: JIMMY MCHUGH
WORDS: DOROTHY FIELDS

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 SOMETHING 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

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. I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE, BABY
THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE PLENTY OF, BABY!
DREAM AWHILE
YEAH
SCHEME AWHILE
YOU'RE SURE TO FIND
HAPPINESS AND I GUESS
ALL THOSE THINGS YOU'RE SURE TO PINE FOR
GEE, I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU LOOKING SWELL, BABY
DIAMOND BRACELETS WOOLWORTHS DOESN'T SELL, MY LITTLE BABY
TILL THAT LUCKY DAY, YOU KNOW DARN WELL OH, BABY!
THAT I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE
I CAN'T DISH OUT ANYTHING BUT LOVE, BABE
THAT'S THE ONLY THING I 'VE GOT PLENTY OF, BABY!
TALK ABOUT DREAMIN' AWHILE
SCHEMIN' AWHILE
YOU'RE SURE TO FIND
HAPPINESS, YEAH, AND ALL THOSE FINE ARABIAN THINGS YOUR LITTLE HEART PINES FOR, YEAH!
SKIP 'EM
I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU LOOKING SWELL
DIAMOND BRACELETS WOOLWORTHS AIN'T GOT NO BUSINESS SELLIN' 'EM
YOU CAN GO TO , GO , AH, TO WELL, WELL, WELL
'CAUSE TILL THAT LUCKY DAY
YOU KNOW DARN WELL, WELL, BABY
I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE
