(Introduction:

- I say, Rick, why don't you, eh, catch a movie or something, let me do a little shopping with my girl.

- What do you mean your girl?  She's my girl.

- Your girl?  I like that!

- Oh well!  I like it too.

- Hey Rick, you need to know how to treat a girl like this.  This is not your average girl.

- Oh I know that John.  She's a very special girl, and I happen to know how to treat her.

- So do I!

- I don't think you do.  Let me show you what I mean.)

I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend, if it'll make you feel all right.

I'll get you anything, my friend, if it makes you feel all right.

But I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love.

Can't buy you love…

Everybody tells me so.

Can't buy you love…

No, no, no - no.

I'll give you all I've got to give, if you say that you love me too.

I may not have a lot to give, but what I've got I'll give to you.

But I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love.

Can't buy you love…

Everybody tells me so.

Can't buy you love…

No, no, no - no.

Say you don't need no diamond ring and we'll be satisfied.

Tell me that you want those kind of things that money just can't buy.

But I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love…

Love…

Can't buy me love…
