Ain't Got You - Gary Lucas, Gods & Monsters, Gods and Monsters

I got the fortunes of heaven in diamonds and gold

I got all the bonds, baby, that the bank could hold

I got houses 'cross the country, honey, end to end

And everybody buddy wants to be my friend

Well, I got all the riches, baby, any man ever knew

The only thing I ain’t got, honey, I ain’t got you

I got a house full of Rembrandt and priceless art

And all the little girls, they wanna tear me apart

When I walk down the street, people stop and stare

Well you’d think I might be thrilled but, baby, I don’t care

'Cause I got more good luck, honey, than old King Farouk

But the only thing I ain’t got, baby, I ain’t got you

I got a big diamond watch sitting on my wrist

I try to tempt you, baby, but you just resist

I made a deal with the devil, babe, I won’t deny

Until I got you in my arms, I can’t be satisfied

I got a pound of caviar sitting home on ice

I got a fancy foreign car that rides like paradise

I got a hundred pretty women knocking down my door

And folks wanna kiss me I ain’t even seen before

I been around the world and all across the seven seas

Been paid a king’s ransom for doing what comes naturally

But I’m still the biggest fool, honey, this world ever knew

'Cause the only thing I ain’t got, baby, I ain’t got you

I ain’t got you

I ain’t got you

I ain’t got you
