I Can’t Give You Anything But Love - Lester Young

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 time
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
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
