Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga - I Can't Give You Anything But Love (Studio Video)

Lyrics

"I can't give you anything but love, baby

That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby

Dream a while, scheme a while you're sure to find

Happiness and I guess all those things you've always pined for

Gee, I like to see you looking swell, tony with

Diamond watches, Tiffany's just don't sell, baby

Till the lucky day you know darn well

Oh, I can't give you anything but love

I can't give you anything but love, lady

That's the only thing I've plenty of, lady

Dream awhile, scheme a while, you're sure to find

Happiness and I guess all those things you've always pined for

How you like to see me looking swell? Lady

Diamond bracelets, Woolworth doesn't sell, Gaga

Till the lucky day you know darn well, baby

Oh, I can't give you anything, I don't want just anything

Oh, I can't give you anything but love

Overall Meaning

"In "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett sing about their inability to offer material gifts to their loved ones, but their eagerness to provide love and affection. The song is a classic example of the Great American Songbook and was first published in 1928. The track is meant to be an ode to the simple pleasures in life and how love can conquer all.

The central theme of the song is about how love is more valued than any material possession. The composers of this song, Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh, believed that love is the ultimate gift that anyone can give to their loved ones. Through the lyrics, Gaga and Bennett express that they are unable to offer anything but love, and they urge their loved ones to dream and scheme, suggesting that the ultimate goal is happiness.

Additionally, Tony Bennett's and Lady Gaga's version of the song highlights their unique singing styles, which complement each other beautifully. Bennett's deep, resonant baritone voice is perfectly balanced with Gaga's powerful vocals, and together, they create a lovely duet.' from Sonichits
