If I had money I'd go wild buy you furs Dress you like a queen And in a chauffeured limousine We'd look so fine But I'm an ordinary guy And my pockets are empty Just an ordinary guy But I'm yours till I die I can't give you anything But my love, but my love I can't give you anything But my love, but my love I cannot promise you the world Can't afford any fancy things I cannot buy you diamond rings No string of pearls But my devotion I will give all my life Just to you girl My devotion I will give for as long as I live I can't give you anything But my love, but my love
