I Can’T Give You Anything But Love, Baby Lyrics
Tony Bennett Feat. Lady Gaga
Lyrics
I can't give you anything but love, baby
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
Oh, I can't give you anything but love
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
Song & Lyrics Facts
The classic song “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love, Baby” was written by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields in 1928. It was famously recorded by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga for their collaborative album Cheek to Cheek on September 19th, 2014.
The track features both vocalists singing the lyrics accompanied only by a piano and bass. On the recording, Bennett and Gaga trade off verses of the romantic lyrics that express the narrator's inability to give anything more than love. The duo also performed this song live at the 87th Academy Awards in 2015, where they were joined by a full band.
