Bennett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream awhile, scheme awhile, you'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, Tony
With diamond watches Tiffany's just don't sell, baby
Until that lucky day you know darn well
I can't give you anything but love, lady
That's the only thing I've plenty of, lady
Dream awhile, scheme awhile, you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess, all the things you've always pined for
I'd like to see you looking swell, lady
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, Gaga
Till that lucky day you know darn well, baby
Oh, I can't give you anything
I don't want just anything
Oh, I can't give you anything but love
In Bennett's song "Give a little love," the lyrics speak of a certain person's willingness to express love, but also their inability to provide anything materialistic or significant except for love. The song opens with the line, "I can't give you anything but love, baby," emphasizing how love is the only thing they have to offer. They express their desire for the person they love to be happy and to find joy and contentment in life, saying, "Dream awhile, scheme awhile, you're sure to find happiness."
The singer then goes on to compliment their loved one, expressing how they would love to see them looking "swell" with expensive diamond watches and bracelets from Tiffany's or Woolworth. However, they once again acknowledge that they cannot provide those things, saying "Until that lucky day you know darn well, oh, I can't give you anything but love." The song ends with the repeated statement, "Oh, I can't give you anything but love," emphasizing the importance of this intangible feeling that they can offer.
Overall, the song is a beautiful ode to the power of love, its ability to bring happiness and contentment, and the recognition that material possessions cannot and do not equate to love. It also shows how love is a powerful force that can provide fulfillment and joy, even in times of struggle and hardship.
