Lace and Pretty Flowers
Willie P. Bennett 1977
If you've got lace and pretty flowers
To give your baby; get her under your powers
If you got silks and sweet perfume
You know she might come, she might come up to your room
But if you've got soul
You know she's going to bowl you over
And when my baby rolls me over
I feel like I want to fly
I feel
Like I want to fly
If you got satins and lots of money
Diamond rings and such things to trap your honey
You got big black cars; you want to let her ride
You give it all to her, she might come over to your side
But if you got love
And a deep devotion
It gets just as deep as the ocean
With just you two inside
Ah!
Just you two inside
If you've got a house: a mansion in the country
You give it all to her; she could still be empty
You could be the richest man in the world
But there's nothing I know of
That'll buy you the heart of a girl
But if you got love
And a deep devotion
It gets just as deep as the ocean
With just you two inside
Just you two inside
