Can't Buy Me Love

Release date: 10 July 1964

Can't buy me love, love,
Can't buy me love.

I'll buy you diamonds ring my friend,
If it makes you feel alright,
I'll get you anything my friend,
If it makes you feel alright,
'Cause I don't care too much for money,
Money can't buy me love.

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.
Money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love, ev'rybody tells me so.
Can't buy me love, no, no, no, no.

Say you don't need no diamond rings,
And I'll be satisfied,
Tell me that you want the kind of things,
That money just can't buy,
I don't care too much for money.
Money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love, ev'rybody tells me so,
Can't buy me love, no, no, no, no.

Say you don't need no diamond rings,
And I'll be satisfied,
Tell me that you want the kind of things,
That money just can't buy,
I don't care too much for money.
Money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love, love,
Can't buy me love, oh
