Well, I learned the hard way real early in life
That money don't grow on a tree
And there's a few things that a daughter can buy
The best things in life, they come free
Chorus:
Oh, but girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
But 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, dead on my feet
But as tired as I am, girl, if you wanna play
Well, playin' sounds damn good to me
Chorus:
Oh, but girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
But 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
Oh girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
But 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
