Verse 1:
I can't give you more than what I've got
You can't expect to get what I have not
I... can only give you lovin' 'til the sun goes down
And... until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything
Verse 2:
Why can't I get you to understand
'Cause after all I am just a man
You... are on my mind when stars appear and shadows fall
And... when every little flower blooms and bluebirds call
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything
Verse 3:
I'll do anything you want me to do
'Cause I don't want to know this life without you
Oh... don't ever go and leave me in this world alone
I'd... be like a little child if I was on my own
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything
Coda:
Everything, baby
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
Everything, oh...
