Love is like candy on a shelf You want to taste and help yourself The sweetest things are there for you Help yourself take a few That's what I want you to do We're always told repeatedly The very best in life is free And if you want to prove it's true Baby, I'm telling you this is what you should do Just help yourself to my lips to my arms Just say the word and they're yours Just help yourself to the love in my heart Your smile has opened up the door The greatest wealth that exists in the world Could never buy what I can give Just help yourself to my lips to my arms And then let's really start to live My heart has love enough for two More than enough for me and you I'm rich with love, a millionaire I've so much it's unfair Why don't you take a share Just help yourself to my lips to my arms Just say the word and they're yours Just help yourself to the love in my heart Your smile has opened up the door The greatest wealth that exists in the world Could never buy what I can give Just help yourself to my lips to my arms And then let's really start to live
