I Can Buy You

Written by Nina Persson and Niclas Frisk

LYRICS
A life of sanity and dignity
You know it takes two
And what’s the use in being a millionaire
If I can’t have you?
I wanna buy you a home
I’ll pay your friends if you’re feeling alone
The pain of losing a guy like you
Is a bigger cost than paying your dues
I can buy you
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But I can’t make you do what you don’t
And I can hire you
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But I can’t make you love me
I can’t make you
You say I’d never go for little
And I always need more
And that you’re a thousand dollar playboy
That I just can’t afford
But I guess you’ve got me
Uh oh
You’ve got me hanging around for too long
I don’t wanna stop it
Oh no, oh no
I bet your life that it’s with me you belong
And I can buy you
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But I can’t make you do what you don’t
And I can hire you
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But I can’t make you love me
I can’t make you care
So if I can’t make you love me
If I can’t make you care
What price can take me there?
In this world
Somebody told me cash is king
I didn’t mean to force you
Oh no
But I bet a fortune it’s with me you belong
And I can buy you
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But I can’t make you do what you don’t
And I can hire you
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But I can’t make you love me
I can’t make you care
I can’t take you there anymore
