Lyrics
I learned the hard way real early in life
I've learned early on that money isn't easily obtained
That money sure don't grow on a tree
Money is not readily available like fruits on a tree
And there's a few things that a dollar can't buy
There are some valuable things that money cannot purchase
The best things in life, they come free
The most precious things in life come without a price tag
So girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring
I can't afford to buy an extravagant diamond ring
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
I cannot provide a luxurious mansion with expensive possessions
And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do
There are limitations to what I am capable of
Oh, but baby, don't think I can't love you
However, it doesn't mean I'm incapable of loving you
And when I get home after workin' all day
After a long day at work, I come home exhausted
I'm beat down, girl, I'm dead on my feet
I'm extremely tired and drained
But as tired as I am, if you wanna play
Despite my fatigue, I'm willing to engage and have fun with you
Well, playin' sounds real good to me
Playing and spending time together sounds appealing to me
'Cause girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring
I cannot afford an extravagant diamond ring for you
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
I lack the resources to provide a luxurious lifestyle
And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do
There are many things beyond my capabilities
Oh, but baby, don't think I can't love you
However, my limitations do not hinder my ability to love you
So girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring
I'm unable to purchase an expensive diamond ring for you
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
I cannot give you a lavish life with materialistic luxuries
And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do
There are many things I cannot achieve or provide
Oh, but baby, baby, oh baby, don't think I can't love you
Despite my limitations, please don't doubt my capacity to love you
