"Can't Buy You"

Golden necklace, diamond ring,
sweet perfume, fancy things.
Brand new car, two story house,
A picket fence, that big leather couch.

Yeah, I'd buy it all
And I'd buy more too.
I'd buy the world,
but I can't buy you.

I'd put you through school.
I'd put you to bed.
I'd tuck you in at night,
and I'd kiss your head.
I'd buy your pain,
and I'd sell it too.
Just to make you happy,
but I can't buy you.

Yeah, I'd buy it all
And I'd buy more too.
I'd buy the world,
but I can't buy you.

A nicer face, a smoother voice,
a better body, clothes of your choice.
I'd dawn it all, if I could have you.
But I know it won't make you love me too.
When your time's gone, when you just sleep...
I'd buy you a tomb; your memory I'd keep.

Yeah, I'd buy it all
And I'd buy more too.
I'd buy the world,
but I can't buy you.

I'll burn my cash to stay warm,
Throw my pennies in a well.
It doesn't matter what
I buy or sell.

I can't buy you.
