I Can't Give You Anything But Love
Unveiling the Language of Love: Dean Martin's Melodic Affection
Lyrics
Love, love, love you, baby
Expressing affection repeatedly towards the addressed individual.
Love, love, love you baby, love you
Continuation of expressing deep affection and love.
Well, I can't give you anything but love, baby
The singer can only offer love to their partner.
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Love is the abundant and plentiful thing the singer can provide.
You dream a while and you scheme a while
Suggests the idea of dreaming and planning for a better future.
You're sure to find
Implying that through such dreams and plans, happiness can be found.
Happiness and I guess
Assuming that happiness will accompany the aforementioned dreams.
Well, all the things you think that are pined for
Referencing the material desires and aspirations someone might long for.
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Expresses the desire to see the addressed individual looking great.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth won't sell to you, baby
Material possessions like diamond bracelets from a cheap store won’t be given.
'Til the lucky day, you know darn well, baby
Until a fortunate day arrives, acknowledging it's not the current reality.
I can't give you anything but love
Reiterating the inability to offer anything except love.
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Non-lyrical vocalizations conveying musical expression.
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Continuation of non-lyrical vocalizations.
Gee, I'd like to (love you, baby)
Desire to witness the addressed individual looking impressive.
See you looking swell, baby (love you, doo-wah)
Reiterating affection while expressing admiration for the partner.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth ain't gonna sell to you, baby
Similar to line 12, emphasizing that certain material possessions won’t be given.
'Til the lucky day, you know darn well, baby
Reiteration of waiting for a fortuitous time that has not yet arrived.
Well I can't give you anything but love
Reaffirming the limitation to offer only love.
(Love, love, love you, baby)
Repeating the expression of deep affection towards the addressed individual.
Love (love, love, love you, baby)
Continuation of expressing intense love and affection.
Love (love, love, love you, baby, doo)
Continuing to emphasize strong feelings of love and affection.
