[Intro]
(Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ahhh
Ah, ah, ah)
[Verse 1]
Fame and fortune smiled upon me
And it was fun, yes, I recall
They gave me ev'rything this world has to offer
But the one thing I wanted most of all
[Verse 2]
Fame and fortune, they have been good to me
And it's really not their fault, oh no, after all
I was the one who thought they could buy me
The one love I wanted most of all
[Bridge]
But you can't buy love, you can't buy happiness
And you can buy a friend 'cept friendliness
Can't buy a laugh, you can't sell a tear
And you can tell all the rest, you ain't here
[Verse 3]
Fame and fortune, they have been good to me
And oh, it was fun, I can recall
They gave me ev'rything, ev'rything this world has to offer
But the one love I wanted most of all
[Outro]
(They gave me everything)
But the one love, ah, I wanted most of all
(Most of all)
