1. I, I who have nothing, I, I who have no-one,
adore you, and want you so.
I'm just a no-one with nothing to give you but, oh ! ~
I love you.
2. He, he buys you diamonds, bright, sparkeling diamonds.
But believe me, dear, when I say,
that he can give you the world but he'll never love you the way. ~
I love you.
He can take you any place he wants,
to fancy clubs and restaurants.
But I can only watch you with
my nose pressed up against the window pa ne.
3. I, I who have nothing, I, I who have no-one,
must watch you go dancing by,
wrapped in the arms of somebody else when darling it's I, ~
who loves you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
