Lyrics Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan

I Can Give You

There are diamonds in this world for a lady

If I had the money you'd never had enough

You don't have to understand me

When I tell you

There is only one thing I can give you

Love

He may ask to take you with him every day

And then give you presents

You've only ever dreamed of

Though I'd take you walking with me anyway

There is only one thing I can give you

Love

What's important to me

Is not the good times we'll have

But the bad times that end up so badly

For you

And so you see

What I want

Is not the earth to move

What on earth it prove

But a love that will make me

A love that will take me for good

And I don't know why soldiers shoot to kill

And I don't know why at ease I get so ill

And I don't give a damn unless of course I do

So if you want to go with him just remember

What I say to you in spite of how I feel

Though he'll give you things

You've only ever dreamed of

There is only one thing I can give you

Love
