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 you're sure to find
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.
