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,
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.
The song “Anything” by One Up, features introspective lyrics about the struggles of poverty yet clinging onto hope for a better future. The singer talks about being broke and how his luck was going from bad to worse. He acknowledges that Rome wasn't built in a day and that he has to pay to get what he wants. Despite the struggle, the song encourages the listener to dream and scheme, as it is believed that happiness and the things they have always pined for can be found. The singer admits that he can’t give his love interest material things, but assures them that they have plenty of love to give.
The lyrics are reminiscent of the Great Depression era, during which the song was written. At the time, many people were struggling financially, and songs that provided hope and optimism were popular. The music and lyrics of the song are uplifting and jazzy, which helps to convey the idea that good times are coming.
