I can't give you all that love
But I'll give you all I have
I can't shoot you with my gun
But I'll hit you with my baseball bat
I can't give you red, red wine
But you can share my 40 with me
I can't buy you a seven-course dinner
But I'll make you some fettuccine

Well, do you understand my pain?
I don't wanna cause no trouble
Do you understand my brain?
It takes pain and makes it double


Verse:

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't seem,
Lord, to do much of anything right
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Take you out on Saturday night
I can't promise you that I'll win for sure
If it comes to a fight
All I can do is say "I love you"
If that'll make you feel alright


Verse:

I can't give you all that love
But I'll give you all I have
I can't shoot you with my gun
But I'll hit you with my baseball bat
I can't give you red, red wine
But you can share my 40 with me
I can't buy you a three-course dinner
But I'll make you some fettuccine


Chorus:

Well, do you understand my pain?
I don't wanna cause no trouble
Do you understand my brain?
It takes pain and makes it double


Verse:

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't seem,
Lord, to do much of anything right
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Take you out on Saturday night, right?
I can't promise you that I'll win for sure
If it comes to a fight
All I can do is say "I love you"
If that'll make you feel alright
If that'll make you feel alright
If that'll make you feel alright
