Explanations

FOR MONEY CAN'T BUY ME LOVE= Because money can't buy me love. In some cases we can use FOR meaning BECAUSE (only in some cases).


I'LL GIVE YOU ALL I GOT TO GIVE= I'll give you everything I have to give. In colloquial English (both BrE and AmE) we can use GOT to express possession (I got = I've got = I have). It is particularly common in the USA.


YOU DON'T NEED NO DIAMOND RINGS= This is a double negative and it is incorrect in standard English, but double negatives are possible in many British dialects and also in colloquial speech.
