I learned the hard way real early in life   That money sure don't grow on a tree   And there's a few things that a dollar can't buy   The best things in life, they come free      So girl I can't buy you a big diamond ring   No house on a hill full of life's finer things   And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do   Oh, but baby don't think I can't love you      And when I get home after workin' all day   I'm beat down girl, I'm dead on my feet   But as tired as I am if you wanna play   Well, playin' sounds real good to me      'Cause girl I can't buy you a big diamond ring   No house on a hill full of life's finer things   And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do   Oh, but baby don't think I can't love you      So girl I can't buy you a big diamond ring   No house on a hill full of life's finer things   And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do   Oh, but baby, baby, oh baby don't think I can't love you
