Can't Buy Me Love
Verse 1
You know that you can't buy me love
So why do you even try?
Love must come from deep within the heart
That way it's guaranteed to be genuine
If it comes from elsewhere, it's something else
And whatever it is, it can be destructive
That's not what love is all about
You have to be honest, caring and respectful
No amount of gold or silver can diminish the power love has
Verse 2
I don't want a Mercedes
I don't want a mansion
Or even a big screen TV
What I want are your feelings for me to be real
Not a single emotion should be fake
And if it is, I'll know sooner or later
Then you'll be spending your time all alone
You have to love me for who I am
Not the fantasy you have of me
Bridge 1
Can't buy me love
Don't even try
Don't want a Mercedes, mansion, big screen TV
Concert tickets or credit cards
Love me for who I am
Bridge 2
I don't want concert tickets or credit cards
I want you to be interested in me for me
I'm unique, I'm special, I'm a human being
Treat me the way you like to be treated
Chorus
You can't buy me love
It will never happen
You'll be wise to keep all your money in the bank
If time is money, you've already wasted a lot of it
I tell you this because it's true
You can't but me love
