I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE
Words - Dorothy Fields

VERSE
Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid. It's not a 
joke, kid. It's a curse.
Think that you ought to be knowing, my luck is 
going from bad to worse.
Who knows someday I will win too, I'll be-
gin to reach my prime.
Now though I see what our end is. All I can 
spend is just my time.

CHORUS
I can't give you anything but love, Baby.
Its 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.

VERSE
Rome wasn't built in a day, kid. You have to 
pay, kid. For what you get.
But I'm willing to wait, dear, you're little 
mate, dear, will not forget.
You have a lifetime before you, I'll a-
dore you come what may.
Please don't be blue for the present, when it's so 
pleasant to hear you say.
