Tommy and Janey hardly eighteen

Holdin' hands at the jewelry store

Eyes open wide starin' inside

At the ring that they wanted for her

Mister bring it closer mister can we hold it

I think it's gonna fit just fine

As he slipped it on her hand Janey kissed her man

Don't love make a diamond shine



Don't love make a diamond shine

It don't matter if it costs a dime

Dang thing looks like a million bucks

Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love

A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt if the heart don't wear it

With three little words it'll knock you blind

Don't love make a diamond shine



There's a rich lady with a new Mercedes

Livin' up in a high rise

She got a big ol' rock on her left hand

That looks cheaper than a Cracker Jack prize

'Cause her man don't know that it ain't the dough

You know all he needs to spend is time

And that big marquis'd be a laser beam

Don't love make a diamond shine



Don't love make a diamond shine

It don't matter if it costs a dime

Dang thing looks like a million bucks

Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love

A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt if the heart don't wear it

With three little words it'll knock you blind

Don't love make a diamond shine



Don't love make a diamond shine

It don't matter if it costs a dime

Dang thing looks like a million bucks

Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love

A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt if the heart don't wear it

With three little words it'll knock you blind

Don't love make a diamond shine

Don't love make a diamond shine
