I Can't Give You What You Want

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

You said you want a woman

That's fine and sexy too

You said you want a woman

That's tall and slim, you said that's the one for you

But what you need is a love that's strong and true

And when you're down, somebody to stick by you

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

You said you want a big house and shiny cars

You said you want a lot of money but that I haven't got

But what you need might be hard for you to see

'Cause everything you need, you can find right here in me

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

I can't give you what you want

But I'll give you what you need

I can't give you a big house and shiny cars

And I can't give you money 'cause that I haven't got

But all I got to give to you, baby, is my love

Yeah, ooh baby

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

If I have to go down on my knees

Just to supply your needs

I don't mind, I don't mind

No, no, baby

You see, I can't give you Detroit, Chicago

Or Memphis, Tennessee

But all I have to give to you is the very best of me
