I learned the hard way real early in life That money sure don't grow on a tree And there's a few things that a dollar can't buy The best things in life, they come free So girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring No house on a hill full of life's finer things And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do Oh, but baby, don't think I can't love you And when I get home after workin' all day I'm beat down, girl, I'm dead on my feet But as tired as I am, if you wanna play Well, playin' sounds real good to me 'Cause girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring No house on a hill full of life's finer things And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do Oh, but baby, don't think I can't love you So girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring No house on a hill full of life's finer things And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do Oh, but baby, baby, oh baby, don't think I can't love you
