It's Love That Really Counts

(album: Presenting Dionne Warwick - 1963)

Some other guy may give
Me diamonds and pearls
The kind of things
that mean so much to some girls

But in the long run, baby
It's love that really counts
Believe me
It's love that really counts
And baby, after loving you
I'm here to say
That no one else will do

Who cares if you don't
Show me Paris or Rome?
As long as you are here
I'm happy at home
'Cause in the long run, baby
It's love that really counts
Believe me
It's love that really counts
When other loves have come & gone
This love of ours will soon
go on and on

So take me in your arms
And darling
Kiss me like only
You know how to do
It's love that really counts
Love that really counts

I'm telling you
