I Can Give You What You Want Now
Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]
I can give you what you want now
If you still want what I could give
I can give the love you want now
Your love is all I need to live.
I can give you what you want now
Lonesliness has made me see
I can give you what you want now
If love is all you need from me.
I tried to get the things I wanted
But I wanted them for you
When all you ever really needed
Was a simple I love you.
If you can tell me that you love me
And mean it like you used to do
I can give you what you want now
I can make your dreams come true.
I can give you what you want now
Lonesliness has made me see
I can give you what you want now
If you dtill want to see from me.
(I can give you what you want now...)
