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 call free

Chorus:

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 amif you wanna play
Well, playin' sounds real good to me



Chorus:

Cuz 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
