You put your love upon me though I was ?? We lift the twisted little ?? story up on the fifth floor I said: you can have my love for a song or ride But don't hold it up to the light Oh loveless, my loveless love I can give you anything but love (love for love's own sake) It's like a message from above (oh, the love we make) Watch out for those foreign girls (they never seem to make much sense) Mistake my plastic beads for pearls (in a game of light pretense) Don't you walk down lonely streets under darkened skies Come on up with me to my lonely retreat I will sing you lullabies We'll string it up, string it along and listen to those oldtime songs That make believe that they were written for you and me I can give you anything but love (love for love's own sake) It came like a message from above (oh, the love we make) Watch out for those foreign girls (they never seem to make much sense) Mistake my plastic beads for pearls (in a game of light pretense) If you still love me by morning Oh you'll find me wainting in the garden by the cherry blossom tree Bring ten cups of wine and cigarettes, come to me in pirhouettes My darling, save all your love for me I can give you anything but love (love for love's own sake) It came like a message from above (oh, the love we make) Watch out for those modern girls (They never seem to make much sense) Mistake my plastic beads for pearls (in a world of innocence) I will sing you lullabies in all your dreams (if you tell me that you will) I've seen those dirty magazines (and I've had my cheap thrills) I can't give you anything but love Was that that sweet old song that you sung when I held you in my arms? Oh I can give you anything but love I can give you anything but love
