Ben E. King I (Who Have Nothing) Lyrics:
I, I who have nothing,
I, I who have no one,
Adore you and want you so.
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh...
I love you.
He, he buys you diamonds,
Bright, sparkling diamonds.
But, believe me, dear, when I say,
That he can give you the world but he'll never love the way...
I love you.
He can take you any place he wants,
Fancy clubs and restaurants.
But I can only watch you with,
My nose pressed up against the window pane.
I, I who have nothing,
I, I who have no one,
Must watch you go dancing by,
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I...
Who love you.
