Answer
Dear Pablo,

Sorry for the delay in answering your question. I was in a vacation.

Well, that would be ANYTHING ANYTHING (I'LL GIVE YOU) by DRAMARAMA. The group formed in New Jersey in 1982, although they were later based in Los Angeles, California. They disbanded in 1994 and reunited in 2003 following an appearance on VH1's BANDS REUNITED. They were formed by frontman JOHN EASDALE (lead vocals/songwriter) with its lineup forever changing with former members going in and out of the band. Their first full-length is called Cinéma Vérité from where the song ANYTHING ANYTHING (I'LL GIVE YOU) was culled. Even though it was their most famous song, it never went to any of the Billboard's charts. Its biggest hit chart-wise is HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE from their 1991 album VINYL. It went to #6 on the Modern Rock Tracks on January 4, 1992. Their latest album is 2005's "everybody dies". Here's its lyrics:  

ANYTHING ANYTHING (I'LL GIVE YOU) / DRAMARAMA

Okay, what is it tonight?
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong!
Do you wanna eat?
Do you wanna sleep?
Do you wanna drown?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down!
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
give you anything you want--hundred-dollar bills
I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
just marry me marry me marry me!
I'm so sick of you tonight
You never stay awake when I get home
Is something wrong with me?
Is something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew wish I knew wish I knew!
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
I'll give you anything you want--hundred-dollar bills
I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Because you marry me marry me marry me!
Marry me marry me marry me!
I was young, I learned a game
And love and happiness were the same
Now I'm older and I don't play--I found out the hardest way.
I got wasted she got mad
Called me names and she called her dad
He got crazy and I did too
Wondered what I did to you.
I gave you candy, gave you diamonds, gave you pills
Gave you anything you want--
Hundred-dollar bills!
I even let you hear the songs I want to sing
I'll give you anything anything anything
I'll give you anything anything anything
I'll give you anything anything anything
anything
anything
anything


Maraming salamat po!!
