before you take another step

there's something you should know

about the years ahead and how they'll be

you'll be living in a world

where roses hardly ever grow

cause all i have to offer you is me

there'll be no mansion waiting on

the hill with crystal chandeliers

and there'll be no fancy

clothes for you to wear

everything i have is standing

here in front of you to see

all i have to offer you is me

sweetheart i'll give you all

my love in every way i can

but make sure that's what you

want while you're still free

the only gold i have for

you is in this wedding band

cause all i have to offer you is me

there'll be no mansion waiting on

the hill with crystal chandeliers

and there'll be no fancy

clothes for you to wear

everything i have is standing

here in front of you to see

all i have to offer you is me

all i have to offer you is me
