VALUE FOR LOVE

Bobby Rio & The Revellers - 1965


I go out to the dance with no one
I come home from the dance with no one
Oh, why won't someone please take a long look at me
I give value for love given to me

I confess there ain't no one and only
But I guess I'll get by although I'm lonely, yeah
But given, given the chance of a lasting romance
I give value for love given to me

Ummm-ummm, I may not be so debonair
But given someone sweet and fair, I could go far
Though my motive is quite frank
I ain't had reason yet to thank my lucky star

Try my best to be like all the others, ummmm
Until somebody, somebody my virtue discovers, yeah
Oh, why won't someone please take a long look at me
I give value for love given to me

Umm-ummm-ummmm-umm

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, why won't someone please take a long look at me
I give value for love given to me
Umm-umm-umm, value (Value), value (Value), given to me (Given to me)
Baby, value (Value), value (Value), given to me (Given to me)
Ah, c'mon, baby, baby, baby, value (Value), value.........FADE
