Offer She Couldn't Refuse

(album: I Hate Goodbyes / Ride Me Down Easy - 1973)

It wasn't for money possession or wealth
For she could have all of those things
She traded the offers of diamonds and gold
She'd rather have plain apron strings.

She could have had mansions and dresses of silk
And married someone well-to-do
But a man who had nothing but love in his heart
Made her an offer she couldn't refuse.

He offered love for a lifetime
The true love was all that he owned
A house that was rented
And children to make it a home.

She valued the promise that went with his ring
That's all she wanted from life
She'd rather have nothing than know she belong
To a man who just wanted a wife.

She turned down the riches they offered to her
For something too precious to lose
When a man who had nothing but love in his heart
Made her an offer she couldn't refuse.

When a man who had nothing but love in his heart
Made her an offer she couldn't refuse...
