The opening track of Tunnel of Love, Springsteen’s highly-anticipated follow-up to the global bestselling Born in the U.S.A. Compared to the romantic story songs and empathetic working class narratives from previous works, this song is starkly autobiographical.
Despite the huge financial rewards he...
[Verse 1]
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
But the only thing I ain't got, honey, I ain't got you
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
I got a big diamond watch sittin' 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
[Verse 3]
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 knockin' 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 doin' 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
