I don't know how to make lots of money   I got debts that I'm trying to pay   I can't buy you nice things like big diamond rings   But that don't mean much anyway      I can't give you the house you've been dreaming   If I could, I would build it alone   I'd be out there all day just hammering away   To make us a place of our own      I will write you a song   That's how you'll know   That my love is still strong   I will write you a song   And you'll know from this song   That I just can't go on without you      I don't know that I'd make a good soldier   I don't believe in being violent and cruel   I don't know how to fight but I'll draw blood, tonight   If somebody tries hurting you      I will write you a song   That's how you'll know   That my love is still strong   I will write you a song   And you'll know from this song   That I just can't go on without you      Now that it's out on the table   (It's out on the table)   Both of us knew all along   (Knew all along)   I've got your lovin' and you've got my song      I don't know how to make lots of money   I don't know all the right things to do   I can't say where we'll go but the one thing I know   Is how to be a good man to you until I die that's what I'll do      I will write you a song   That's how you'll know   That my love is still strong   I will write you a song   And you'll know from this song   That I just can't go on without      I will write you a song   (I will write you a song)   That's how you'll know   That my love is still strong   (Love is still strong)   I will write you a song   And you know from this song   That I just can't go on without you
