  • You can buy you a house and a big shiny car
    You can go without but you won't get too far
    'Cause you need someone to see you through
    Someone to tell you it's alright
    And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy

    You can wear your fancy clothes and all those diamond rings
    You can go where you go but it won't mean a thing
    'Til you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
    And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy

    Your world is turnin'
    It's turnin' upside down
    Don't look behind you
    'Cause there's no one around

    You get everything you see then you wonder why
    What you got you don't need and you can't be satisfied
    'Till you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
    And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy

    Your world is turnin'
    It's turnin' upside down
    Don't look behind you
    'Cause there's no one around

    You get everything you see then you wonder why
    What you got you don't need and you can't be satisfied
    'Till you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
    And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
    'cause you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
    You get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy Writer/s: NELSON
