(Performed by Back Street Boys)
When you talk, does it seem like
He's not even listening to a word you say? That's okay babe, just tell me your problems I'll try my best to kiss them all away Does he leave when you need him the most? Does his friends get all your time? Baby please, I'm on my knees Praying for the day that you'll be mine
I don't know what he does to make you cry But I'll be there to make you smile I don't have a fancy car
To get to you, I'd walk a thousand miles. I don't care if he buys you nice things Does his gifts come from the heart?
I don't know, but if you were my girl I'd make it so we'd never be apart
CHORUS
Hey girl, I don't want you to cry no more inside All the money in the world Could never add up to all the love I have inside
CHORUS:
But my love is all I have to give Without you I don't think I can live I wish I could give the world to you But love is all I have to give
I love you... and I will give it to you
All I can give, all I can give Everything I have is for you
My love is all I have to give
