Before you take another step there's something you should know

About the years ahead and how they'll be

You'll be living in a world where roses hardly ever grow

Cause all I have to offer you is me

There'll be no mansions waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers

And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear

Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see all I have to offer you is me

[ guitar - steel ]

Sweetheart I'll give you all my love in every way I can

But make sure that's what you want while you're still free

The only gold I have for you is in this wedding band

Cause all I have to offer you is me

There'll be no mansions...

All I have to offer you is me
