A lonely town a lonely street a lonely room where I can't sleep

She's on my mind I think about her endlessly

He bought her big blue diamond rings a car and other costly things

But can't he buy the kind of love she gave to me

The kind of love she gave to me gave it so unselfishly

We planned a home all of our own now that can't be

He'll buy her furrs and silk and gowns she never had in Shantytown

But can't he buy the kind of love she gave to me

[ steel ]

She's from across the track you know where the bright lights never glow

In Shantytown we live and love so differently

She'll have her mansion on the hill but when that house is cold and still

Can't he buy the kind of love she gave to me

The kind of love she gave to me...
