Anything But Love

I used to want more than the oceans could store, then even more than that
But now I've found that when you're around, I'm feeling kind of fat
I'm so satisfied when you're by my side and I don't see anything wrong with that, but...

Don't bring me flowers they wilt on the vine
Or sparkly watches to show me you've got the time
I've got everything I need, there's nothing I'm in want of, so, don't bring me anything but love

Don't bring me valentines or chocolates in a heart
No dates at places that we can't find on a chart
No Steak Tartare or oysters ala carte, no, don't bring me anything but love

Your charms enough to warm my heart, your loving arms well that's a good place to start

Don't bring me mistletoe hung up on the jamb
No Chinese porcelain or fine tea from Japan
Don't bring me diamonds from the King of Siam, no
Don't bring me anything, don't bring me anything
Don't bring me anything but love

(Bridge)

Don't bring me cloaks from the blokes on Savile Row
No Scottish macs off the racks of Edinburgh
I've got everything I need
There's nothing I'm in want of, so, don't bring me anything,
Anything but love
Aww, Don't bring me nothin'!
