A
letra:
Love
is like candy on a shelf
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself take a few
That's what I want you to do
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself take a few
That's what I want you to do
We're always told repeatedly
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove it's true
Baby, I'm telling you this is what you should do
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove it's true
Baby, I'm telling you this is what you should do
Just help yourself to my lips to my
arms
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
And then let's really start to live
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
And then let's really start to live
My heart has love enough for two
More than enough for me and you
I'm rich with love, a millionaire
I've so much it's unfair
Why don't you take a share
More than enough for me and you
I'm rich with love, a millionaire
I've so much it's unfair
Why don't you take a share
Just help yourself to my lips to my
arms
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
And then let's really start to live
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
And then let's really start to live
