I Can't Give You Anything But Love

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 [A]time.

I can't give you [A7anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby.

Dream awhile, scheme awhile
We're sure to [C7]find

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

Gee I'd like [F]to [C7]see you [A7looking swell, baby.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.

Till that lucky day you [A7know darned well, baby.
I can't give you [A7anything but love.

Rome wasn't built in a day, kid.
You have to [C7]pay, kid, for [Dm7]what you [A7get.
But I am willing to [C7]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 [Am]blue for [Dm7]the present,
When it's so pleasant to [C7]hear you [A7say

I can't give you [A7anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby.

Dream awhile, scheme awhile
We're sure to [C7]find

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

Gee I'd like [F]to [C7]see you [A7looking swell, baby.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.

Till that lucky day you [A7know darned well, baby.
I can't give you [A7anything but love.
