Am            G        Am            G
I, I who have nothing. I, I who have no one,
 C                     E
Adore you and want you so...
           Am          G                        F
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh!
  Am        G Am G
I love you!

#2.
Am              G         Am                G
He, he buys you diamonds. Bright, sparkling diamonds.
       C                      E
But, believe me, dear, when I say,
            Am                      G
That he can give you the world, but he'll never love you
    F       Am       G Am G Am
the way...I love you.

CHORUS:
Am     G
He can take you any place he wants,
   F
To fancy clubs and restaurants.
    G              
But I can only watch you with
   F                                  E F E
my nose pressed up against the window pa..ne.

Am            G        Am            G
I, I who have nothing. I, I who have no one.
     C                    E                  Am
Must watch you go dancing by, wrapped in the arms 
            G                        F
of somebody else when, darling, it's I..
    Am
Who loves you.
  F           Dm          E        Am G Am G
I love you..I love you..I love you.

CHORUS:
REPEAT#3.
