Make Me Present of You Songtext
von Dinah Washington

I don′t want a mountain of diamonds
Or a valley of gold wouldn't do
But if you wanna make me happy
Just make me a present of you

I don′t want a desert of rubies
Or an ocean of pearls to swim through
I know that I will be happy
That is, if you make me a present of you

What good is a girl with a million?
What good if the world calls you Queen?
If you don't have somebody to love you
You don't have a doggone thing


So let me take your arms for my palace
Let me take the sky for my room with a view
I know we′ll both will be very happy
If you′ll make me a present of you

What good is a girl with a million?
What good if the world calls you, "Queen"?
If you don't have a man to love you
You really don′t have a doggone thing

So I'll take my arms for your palace
I′ll take the sky for my room with a view
I know we'll both be happy
That is, if you box yourself up
Tie it with a pretty ribbon, Lord
And make me, ahh, make me a present of you
