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
