Valentines Day can be a tough day for everyone. It's
especially true if you have a loved one but not a lot of
lettuce.
You need to
think outside the box
when planning the Valentine's date. You might
feel like a million dollars
because you are in love but it's hard to
eat out
when you are
broke.
You know that you can't
drop a bundle
if you are
hard up.
What you fear happening is having a
falling out
on Valentine's Day! So as you plan Valentine's day you are
walking on eggs.
So that means that planning what to do on Valentine's Day is hands down
very stressful. If your loved one
gets mad
and says that they have
had enough
it might be a
frosty Friday
before you have another date. You need to
think up
up something to do that doesn't take a big
chunk of change
and it will be
too bad
for you if you try taking a
short cut
in your planning. It's amazing how not having a big
nest egg
makes Valentine's so tricky. You have to be pretty
sharp
to plan a date that doesn't cost you a
pretty penny.
If you have a credit card you always can pretend that you have a lot of
dough
but then you will have to
pay down
your credit card and the credit card companies charge
an arm and a leg
in interest. It will take you much more
coin
to pay the credit card debt, than if you had simply used whatever
bread you had and spent
peanuts
on the date. So unless you
make it big just before the date, you had better plan well. If not,
your date might give you a
fat
lip and the
fallout might be that your date will tell you to
get
lost
and you will never see them again. So don't
freeze up
when you plan the date, look
sharp
and make certain that you
think outside the box!
You might also need to pray that when you leave for your date that a
wino
hasn't thrown up on your car and that you don't find a
Denver boot
locking your car up. Most important of all
walk on eggs
that you don't wake up with a big
zit on your nose! If it all works out for you, it will be a
feather in
your cap that you planned a
cut rate
date that impressed your loved one. A suggestion for a romantic date that
doesn't cost anything is to learn a romantic love song and sing it.
Here are the lyrics for I can't buy you anything but love. You can always go on the web and listen to the songs and learn them and sing them to your loved one on Valentine's Day.

LADY GAGA LYRICS
I Can't Give You Anything But Lovebr (with Tony
Bennett)
[Lady Gaga:]
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while

Happiness and I guess all those things you've always
pined for
Gee, I like to see you looking swell, tony with
Diamond
watches, Tiffany's just don't sell, baby
Till the lucky day you know darn
well
Oh I can't give you anything but love.
[Tony Bennett:]
I can't
give you anything but love, lady
That's the only thing I've plenty of, lady
Dream awhile, scheme a while, you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all
those things you've always pined for
How you like to see me looking swell?
lady
Diamond bracelets, Woolworth doesn't sell, Gaga
[Duet:]
Till
the lucky day you know darn well, baby
Oh I can't give you anything, I don't
want just anything
Oh I can't give you anything but love
Another great version of the song:
Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid.
It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse.
My luck is changing, it's
gotten from
simply rotten to something worse
Who knows, some day I will
win too.
I'll begin to reach my prime.
Now though I see what our end
is,
All I can spend is just my time.
I can't give you anything but
love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby.
Dream awhile,
scheme awhile
We're sure to find
Happiness and I guess
All those
things you've always pined for.
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell,
baby.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.
Till that lucky
day you know darned well, baby.
I can't give you anything but love.
Rome wasn't built in a day, kid.
You have to pay, kid, for what you get.
But I am willing to wait, dear,
Your little mate, dear, will not forget.
You have a lifetime before you.
I'll adore you, come what may.
Please don't be blue for the present,
When it's so pleasant to hear you say
I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've
plenty of,baby.
Dream awhile, scheme awhile
We're sure to find
Happiness and I guess
All those things you've always pined for.
Gee
I'd like to see you looking swell, baby.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't
sell, baby.
Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby.
I can't
give you anything but love.
