Lyrics

I don't want a mountain of diamonds

I don't desire a vast accumulation of diamonds.

And a valley of gold wouldn't do

Even a large quantity of gold in a valley is insufficient.

But if you want to make me happy

If you want to bring joy to me,

Just make me a present of you

Just give yourself as a gift to me.


I don't need a desert of rubies

I don't require a desert made of rubies.

Or an ocean of pearls to swim through

An ocean filled with pearls to swim in is unnecessary.

But if you wanna make me happy

To bring happiness to me,

Just make me a present of you

Just present yourself to me as a gift.


What good is a girl with a million?

Having a girl with wealth totaling a million is of what value?

What good if the world calls you Queen?

What's the significance if the world addresses you as a Queen?

If you don't have someone to love you

Without someone to love you,

Then you really don't have anything

You truly possess nothing.


So I'll take your arms for my palace

So, I'll consider your arms as my palace,

And the sky for my room with a view

And the sky as my room with a view.

I know that I'll make you happy

I'm confident that I'll bring you happiness,

If you make me a present of you

If you offer yourself as a gift to me.


What good is a girl with a million?

What value is there in being a girl with a million?

What good if the world calls you Queen?

Why bother if the world hails you as a Queen?

If you don't have a man to love you

Without a man to love you,

Then you don't have a doggone thing

You possess absolutely nothing.


So I'll take my arms for your palace

So, I'll consider my arms as your palace,

And the sky for my room with a view

And the sky as my room with a view.

I know we'll both be very happy

I'm certain we'll both be very happy,

If you'll box yourself up

If you package yourself,

Tie it with a pretty ribbon

Tie it with a pretty ribbon,

And make me, Lord, make me a present of you

And make me, Lord, make me a present of you.
