You may have diamonds You may have pearls AM You may think you got it baby Over all the other girls But honey you ain't got nothing And I'll tell you why AM If you're empty as a soul can be, baby Deep down inside You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy AM You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy AM You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy You may have a big backyard And ruby rings And my love's just a second-place runner, honey To your fancy things But what you got to hold on to When the lights go down You come lookin' for me baby But I ain't nowhere around You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy You better start You need a strong man, baby To love and understand you A man who ain't afraid, sugar To get some dirt on his hands for you And when you're feeling so down-hearted And all you wanna do is cry Ah, just come on, take my hand, baby Together you and I We could start savin' up For the things that money can't buy We'd better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy You better start savin' up For the things that money can't buy
