You put your love upon me, though I was but poor
|
We lived a twisted little fairy story up on the fifth floor
|
I said you can have my love for this song go right
|
But don't hold it up to the light
|
Oh loveless, my loveless love
|
|
I can't give you anything but love
|
(Love for loves own sake)
|
It's like a message from above
|
(All the love we made)
|
Watch out for those foreign girls
|
(They never seem to make much sense)
|
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
|
(Couldn't be more like pretence)
|
|
Don't you walk down lonely streets under darkened skies
|
Come on up with me to my lonely retreat, I will sing you lullabies
|
We'll string it up, string it along
|
And listen to those old time songs
|
And make believe, that they were written for you and me
|
|
I can't give you anything but love
|
(Love for loves own sake)
|
It came like a message from above
|
(All the love we made)
|
Watch out for those foreign girls
|
(They never seem to make much sense)
|
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
|
(Couldn't be more like pretence)
|
|
If you still love me by morning
|
Oh you'll find me waiting in the garden by the cherry blossom tree
|
Bring ten cups of wine and cigarettes
|
Come to me in pirouettes, my darling
|
Save all your love for me
|
|
I can't give you anything but love
|
(Love for loves own sake)
|
It came like a message from above
|
(All the love we made)
|
You watch out for those modern girls
|
(They never seem to make much sense)
|
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
|
(In a world of innocence)
|
I will sing you lullabies in all your dreams
|
(If you tell me that you will)
|
I've seen those dirty magazines
|
(And I've had my cheap thrills)
|
|
I can't give you anything but love
|
But was that that sweet old song
|
That you sung when I held you in my arms, oh
|
I can't give you anything but love
|
I can't give you anything but love
|
