My Love Is All I Have
Heavy D · Other Songs - Heavy D
My love is all I have for you (Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!)
Oooohhh! Girl no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No expensive things (Expensive things)
No trips in spring (Oooh Oooh)
And my love is all I have for you (Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!)
See I'm not a wealthy man (Wealthy man)
I'm just an average man (Average man)
But I do what I can
But when morning comes, your no longer alone
And when the evening brings me home to you
Let's talk about your day! Did things go your way?
If not then let me comfort you
See, I'm offering, a lifetime, of love and tender care
[Chorus]
Yeah! There might even be, some with more money than me
Yeah! But I lay down my life for you!
No I'm not able to, financially do for you
My heart belongs to you! Hey Hey! See girl!
I'm offering, a lifetime, of love and tender care
[Chorus]
But see yah! Anyhow yuh love mi would a extra special
Anyhow yuh leave mi would a leave mi critical
What an individual, she far from typical
Di wey she steal mi heart she could a criminal
Di wey dat she kiss mi mon a pure danger
Now tell mi this love mon it is major
And I don't have nuh fancy tings
But this love I bring, and di song I sing, yuh see
I'm offering, a lifetime, of love and tender care
[Chorus]
Yes! Yes! Oooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Uh oh! Watch it!!! Hoooooooooooooooooooo!!! Hey!!!!
