Anything But Love lyrics

You put your love upon me 
Though I was but poor 
We lived a twisted little fairy story 
Up on the 5th Floor 

I said you can have my love for a song all right 
But don't hold it up to the light 
Oh loveless 
My loveless love 

I can't give you anything but love 
(Love for loves own sake) 
It's like a message from above 
(All the love we make) 
Watch out for those foreign girls 
(They never seem to make much sense) 
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls 
(We'll leave all life's pretence) 

Don't you walk down lonely streets 
Under darkened skies 
Come on up with me to my lonely retreat 
I will sing you lullabies 
We string it up and string it along 
And listen to those old time songs 
And make believe that they were written for you and me 

I can't give you anything but love 
(Love for loves own sake) 
It came like a message from above 
(All the love we make) 
Watch out for those foreign girls 
(They never seem to make much sense) 
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls 
(We'll leave all life's pretence) 

If you still love me 
By morning 
Oh you'll find me waiting in the garden 
By the cherry blossom tree 
Bring tin cups of wine and cigarettes 
Come to me in pirouettes 
My darling 
Save all your love for me 

I can't give you anything but love 
(Love for loves own sake) 
It came like a message from above 
(All the love we make) 
You watch out for those modern girls 
(Who never seem to make much sense) 
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls 
(In a world of innocence) 

I will sing you lullabies in all your dreams 
(If you tell me that you will) 
I've seen those dirty magazines 
(And I got my cheap thrills) 

I can't give you anything but love 
Was that that sweet old song 
That you sung when I held you in my arms 
I can give you anything but love 

I can't give you anything but love
