Mark Linkous - I Can Buy You lyrics

[Verse 1]: 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 [Pre-Chorus 1]: 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 [Chorus 1]: 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 [Verse 2]: You say, I'd never go for a little And I always need more And you're a thousand dollar playboy That I just can't afford [Pre-Chorus 2]: But I guess you got me, oh, oh You 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 [Chorus 2]: 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 [Bridge]: 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 [Chorus 2] [Outro]: I can't take you there anymore
