Lyrics for Make Me A Present Of You

I don't want a mountain of diamonds And a valley of gold wouldn't do But if you want to make me happy Just make me a present of you I don't need a desert of rubies Or an ocean of pearls to swim through But if you wanna make me happy Just make me a present of you What good is a girl with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have someone to love you Then you really don't have anything So I'll take your arms for my palace And the sky for my room with a view I know that I'll make you happy, yes If you make me a present of you What good is a gal with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have a man to love you Then you really don't have a doggone thing So I'll take my arms for your palace And the sky for my room with a view I know we'll both be very happy If you'll box yourself up Tie it with a pretty ribbon And make me, Lord, make me a present of you
