about

This is a cover. Ben E. king sang it in the 1960’s And so did Shirley Bassey, who does my favorite version. It’s even been on American Idol. Despite that, I really love to play this stripped down version. I really love the sense of despair that seems to ooze out of the lyrics, and it’s a fun song for me, believe it or not.

lyrics

I who have nothing
I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a poor boy with nothing to give you but oh
I love you

He, he buys you diamonds
Bright sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear when I say
He can give you the world but he'll never love you the way
I love you

He can take you any place he wants
Fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane

I who have nothing
I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it is I
Who loves you

I love you
