Who wants to bu-u-uy this diamond ri-i-i-ing?

She took it off her finger, now it doesn't mean a thi-i-i-ng

This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore

And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before

So if you've got someone whose love is tru-u-ue

Let it shine for yo-ou-ou



This stone is genuine like love should be-e-e-e

And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me-e-e-e

This diamond ring can mean something beautiful

And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true

And then your heart won't have to break like mine did

If there's love behind it



This diamond ring can mean something beautiful

And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true

And then your heart won't have to break like mine did

If there's love behind it



This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore

And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before

FADE

So if you've got someone whose love is tru-u-ue

Let it shine for yo-ou-ou
