Diamonds and Pearls
We were walking home late one night, we were feeling alright
as I held her tight and I looked in her eyes I said,
if i had diamonds and pearls i'd give them to you girl and pritty things.
what she said confused me in the head!
While diamonds and pearls appeal to most girls,
to me they don't mean a thing, I don't wont
any pretty things nor fancy wrings, just you by my side
holding me tight that's enough for me.
a few weeks latter we went out on a date,
as we strolled along I was humming a happy song,
I turned to her and said, if I had all the treasures of the world
I would give them to you girl, and again she said to me.
While diamonds and pearls appeal to most girls,
to me they don't mean a thing, I don't wont
any pretty things nor fancy wrings, just you by my side
holding me tight that's enough for me.
On our anniversary we stayed home to eat,
by candle light the box caught her sight,
when she read the note she looked like she was afloat,
then she threw her arms around me. It read
If diamonds and pearls don't mean nothing to you girl,
and you don't wont pretty things, nor fancy wrings,
Well I will stay by your side and hold you tight,
for that's enough for me.
