All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)

About All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)

"All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)" is a song written by Dallas Frazier and A. L. "Doodle" Owens, and recorded by American country music artist Charley Pride. It was released in June 1969 as the first single from the album The Best of Charley Pride. The song, released that June, reached the top of the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart that August, and in doing so it was Charley Pride's first No. 1 song. It also accomplished a feat not done in 25 years: an African American entertainer having a No. 1 hit on the Billboard country chart. The last song by a black performer to reach the summit was "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby" by Louis Jordan, in July 1944. Pride became the third black singer to have a No. 1 country hit (the Nat King Cole-led King Cole Trio had a No. 1 hit earlier in 1944). While Cole would top the charts only once and Jordan twice, "All I Have to Offer You Is Me" would be the first of 29 No. 1 hits for Pride, spanning to 1983's "Night Games." The song has also been recorded by Conway Twitty on his 1970 album To See My Angel Cry, The Statler Brothers on their 1970 album Bed of Rose's, McBride & the Ride on their 1992 album Sacred Ground, the Kaʻau Crater Boys on their 1995 album On Fire and by Ricky Van Shelton on his 2000 album Fried Green Tomatoes. more »

Before you take another step
There’s something you should know
About the years ahead and how they’ll be
You’ll be living in a world
Where roses hardly ever grow
‘Cause all I have to offer you is me
There’ll be no mansion waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
And there’ll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me
Sweetheart I give you all my love in every way I can
But make sure that’s what you want while you’re still free
The only goal I have for you is in this wedding band
‘Cause all I have to offer you is me
(Repeat chorus)
