Tahta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't buy me love
I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
Cause I don't care too much for money
I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I've got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No, no, no, no
Say you don't need no diamond ring
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want those kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No, no, no, no
Say you don't need no diamond ring
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want those kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Cause money can't buy me love
Oh, can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love, no
Tahta Menezes's song "Can't Buy Me Love" is a reflection on the concept of love and the idea that money cannot buy it. The first verse starts off with the lyrics "I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend, If it makes you feel all right / I'll get you anything my friend, If it makes you feel all right." These lyrics showcase the belief that love is not about buying material possessions or gaining wealth; it is about the emotional connection between two people. The singer then goes on to state that the amount of money they have is irrelevant to them, expressing the idea that love cannot be bought with money.
In the second verse, the singer expresses a willingness to give all they have to offer if the person they love feels the same way. They acknowledge that they may not have much material wealth to offer, but they are willing to give all they have emotionally. These lyrics showcase the idea that love is not about material possessions or financial gain, but rather an emotional connection between two people.
