Artist/Band: Earl Hines
Lyrics for Song: I Can't Give You Anything But Love
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Earl Hines



Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid.


It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse.


My luck is changing, it's gotten from


simply rotten to something worse


Who knows, some day I will win too.


I'll begin to reach my prime.





Now though I see what our end is,


All I can spend is just my time.





I can't give you anything but love, baby.


That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby.





Dream awhile, scheme awhile


We're sure to find





Happiness and I guess


All those things you've always pined for.





Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby.


Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.





Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby.


I can't give you anything but love.





Rome wasn't built in a day, kid.


You have to pay, kid, for what you get.


But I am willing to wait, dear,


Your little mate, dear, will not forget.





You have a lifetime before you.


I'll adore you, come what may.





Please don't be blue for the present,


When it's so pleasant to hear you say





I can't give you anything but love, baby.


That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby.





Dream awhile, scheme awhile


We're sure to find





Happiness and I guess


All those things you've always pined for.





Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby.


Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.





Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby.


I can't give you anything but love.

This recording reflects Hines' ability to balance commercial appeal with artistic integrity, a hallmark of his discography from this period. The song's enduring popularity highlights its accessibility and emotional depth, making it a staple in jazz collections. Hines' performance on this track exemplifies the collaborative spirit of the studio sessions of the time, where musicians pushed each other to new heights.
