I, I who have nothing,
I, I who have no one,
Adore you and want you so.
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you but - oh! -
I love you.

He, he buys you diamonds,
Bright, sparkling diamonds,
But believe me, dear, when I say,
That he can give you the world,
But he'll never love you the way
I love you.

He can take you any place he wants,
To fancy clubs and restaurants,
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane.

I, I who have nothing,
I, I who have no one,
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else,
When, darling, it's I
Who loves you.

I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
