Anything But Love
You put your love upon me Though I was but poor We lived a twisted little fairy story Up on the 5th Floor I said you can have my love for a song all 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 make) Watch out for those foreign girls (They never seem to make much sense) Mistake my plastic beads for pearls (We'll leave all life's 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 string it up and string it along And listen to those old time songs And make believe that they were written for you and me Songtexte I can give you anything but love (Love for loves own sake) It came like a message from above (All the love we make) Watch out for those foreign girls (They never seem to make much sense) Mistake my plastic beads for pearls (We'll leave all life's pretence) If you still love me By morning Oh you'll find me waiting in the garden By the cherry blossom tree Bring tin 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 make) You watch out for those modern girls (Who 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 got my cheap thrills) I can't give you anything but love Was that that sweet old song That you sung when I held you in my arms I can give you anything but love I can give you anything but love Aus Songtexte Mania
