What I Can Give

I cannot give you money.
I cannot give you fame.

I can't promise always to be kind,
Or ever to be tame.

I am not drop-dead gorgeous,
More like kind of pretty.

My tongue is sharp and painful,
When I do not mean to be witty.

I can't promise an easy ride,
I hope you know how unlikely that is.

The question: will you run and hide?
Or see what can become of this?

I cannot promise everything;
But if you make me love you

I would give up anything,
For this special few.

If you make me care,
I'll give you all my heart.

Because once I start to love,
It's with a force that could tear me apart.

So be careful what you do,
If what I give is not enough for you.
