All night long I could not sleep
For ringing in my ear
I heard a sweet, soft melody, yes I did
The words at first, I couldn't make out clear
The black cloud had drifted away
And, baby, this is what I heard her say, she said

[Chorus]
Without love, there's nothing you can do, oh, oh, oh
Without love, you're not really you, oh, baby

All night long she spoke to me
She whispered in my ear
Beneath that sweet, soft melody
She said, "Don't you know that a rich man
A rich man that might be poor
If money is all that he has"

[Chorus]

And all night long she spoke to me
She whispered in my ear
Way beneath that sweet, soft melody
And this is what she said
She said, "Hey, baby, don't you know that a rich man
A rich man that might be poor
If money is all that he has"

[Chorus]
