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...
