There is a lyric in The Spin Doctors “Two Princes” that goes “One has diamonds in his pockets…This one said he wants to buy you rockets”, which has always stuck with me. In that song, the idea was that the richer of the Princes would win the heart against someone with no money and no breeding. As I was writing this, I wondered what would happen if someone only had money to appeal to someone, but that wasn’t what they were after.
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To please you
There’s no place I wouldn’t go
To be near you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t say
To see you smile
There’s not a thing I wouldn’t buy
To win your heart
You may not like material things
But that’s all I have to give
I will take you to a place where
Grass is green and skies are blue
And if you want me to
I’ll buy you a rocket
And I will give you everything
Gold and silver, diamonds too
And if you want me to
I’ll buy you a rocket
I don’t know what to do
To please you
Don’t know where to turn
To be near you
I will play the fool
To see you smile
I’ll drain my future dry
To win your heart
You may not like material things
But that’s all I have to give
I will take you to a place where
Grass is green and skies are blue
And if you want me to
I’ll buy you a rocket
And I will give you everything
Gold and silver, diamonds too
And if you want me to
I’ll buy you a rocket
I don’t have the way
To please you
I can’t bear to walk away
Than be near you
I don’t have the words
To make you smile
If I can’t buy the win
I can’t win your heart
You may not like material things
But that’s all I have to give
I will take you to a place where
Grass is green and skies are blue
And if you want me to
I’ll buy you a rocket
And I will give you everything
Gold and silver, diamonds too
And if you want me to
I’ll buy you a rocket
