Blackstreet
Lyrics
Buy me love
Money can't buy me love
(Buy me love)
Buy me love
(Oh no, no, no, oh)
Money can't buy me love
(Buy me love)
Buy me love
(Oh yeah)
Buy me love
(This is not what I thought, um, um, um)
I'll buy you diamond rings, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll give you anything my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I don't care too much for money
'Cause money can't buy me love
(I'm a sayin' that)
Buy me love
(Oh no, no)
Money can't buy me love
(Say you can't buy me love)
Buy me love
(No, no, no, no)
Money can't buy me love
(It can't buy me love)
Buy me love
(Yeah, yeah)
Buy me love
(It's what I'm talking about baby)
You say you don't want no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me if you want these kind of things
That money just can't buy
I may not have a lot to give
But what I gotta give to you
I said, I don't care too much for money
'Cause money can't buy me love
Buy me love
(Oh no)
Money can't buy me love
(Said it can't buy me, me)
Buy me love
(Oh no, no, no)
Money can't buy me love
(Can't buy)
Buy me love
(Buy me love, sing it for me all)
Money can't buy me love
(Buy me love)
Buy me love
(Woh, oh, no)
Money can't buy me love
(Said money can't buy me love)
Buy me love
(Oh no, no, no)
Buy me love
(Said it can't buy me love)
Buy me love
(Money can't buy me love)
Buy me love
