I would gladly eat anything you set before me
Devour any idea you cook inside your head
There's not much food because there's not much money
Yet I'm a rich man every night I bed
Because you're all mine and mine only
By a little lucky twist of fate
No, I will never ever be hungry
I will gladly eat from our chipped plate

You can buy chocolate, cigarettes, and whiskey
Cook it all up into a stew
Sure, my stomach might feel frisky
But it gets better anytime you say "I do"
Now you're all mine and mine only
See, I'm the fullest man alive
Everything you make is so wholly
I'll eat it all up until the day I die

We don't have credit but we have each other
What billions could never buy
Repeat to me "baby, I'm your lover"
And watch my worth rise
Because now you're all mine and mine only
I could never go hungry again
Our cupboards they might be empty
But our eyes are full until the end
