Empty pockets but a heart full of love

a heart full of love for you

Cash? Not any, not one red penny

but kisses many, for you!



Empty pockets but a heart beating fast

as true as the stars above

Please say that you'll get by with just a guy

with empty pockets filled with love!



You can't eat love, you can't drink love

you can't wear love, like you would a gown

I trust love but "just" love won't pay for caviar

won't buy that motor car, or a house in town!



You can't spend love, you can't lend love

you must end love when the chips are down!

Love flies out the window when there's nothin' to eat

nothin' to drink, nothin' to wear but a frown

an' the chips are down!
