I Who Have Nothing

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 Word

(sometimes: That you can give her the world)

But she'll never love you the way I love you

You can take her any place she wants

To 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 is I

Who love you
