Lyric

I’ll give you love that’s above and beyond the call of loveAnd I’ll never ever make you cryI’ll give you love that’s above and beyond the call of loveAnd love is something that money can’t buy.
Well, a poor boy’s chances for a pretty girl’s glancesAre sometimes very fewAin’t got no money if you’ll be my honeyHere’s what I’ll offer you.
I’ll give you love that’s above and beyond the call of loveAnd I’ll never ever make you cryI’ll give you love that’s above and beyond the call of loveAnd love is something that money can’t buy.
Oh, we met by chance and I knew at a glanceThat I’d found my destinyI’d still carry you off and marry you ifYou would agree.
To givin’ me love that’s above and beyond the call of loveAnd I’ll never ever make you cryI’ll give you love that’s above and beyond the call of loveAnd love is something that money can’t buy
