Lyrics
I don’t care for treasures, I don’t ask for fame
Or the fortunes others may possess
You’re my only treasure, you’re my claim to fame
My career is here in your caress
Chorus
I wouldn’t take a million for a girl like you
I wouldn’t take a million for the things you do
If they offered me a mansion
In the finest part of town
If you’re not in that mansion
Then I would turn it down
I wouldn’t take a million
For the twinkle in your eyes
I’d rather win a smile from you
Than win the Nobel prize
If I were just a pauper and I didn’t have a sou
I still would have a million if I just had you
