I, I who have nothing—
I, I who have no one
adore you,
and want you so.
I'm just a no one
with nothing to give you—
but oh—
I love you.
You, you buy her diamonds:
bright, sparkling diamonds.
But believe me,
dear, when I say
that she can give you the world
but she'll never love you the way
I love you.
You can take her any place that she wants—
fancy clubs and restaurants—
but I can only watch you with
my nose pressed up
against the window pane.
I, I who have nothing—
I, I who have no one
must watch you
go dancing by
wrapped in the arms of somebody else
when darling it's I
who loved you.
I love you.
I love you.
