You can buy you a house and a big shiny car
You can go without but you won't get too far
'Cause you need someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
You can wear your fancy clothes and all those diamond rings
You can go where you go but it won't mean a thing
'Til you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around
You get everything you see then you wonder why
What you got you don't need and you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around
You get everything you see then you wonder why
What you got you don't need and you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through, someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
'Cos you get back what you've given and love is somethin' you can't buy
