Tommy and Janey hardly eighteen Holdin' hands at the j**elry 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
