Diamonds and pearls Songtext / Lyric

A girl just barely seventeen

A man with hands of gold

All the warmth in his eyes

Brought me to his side

For always, to have and to hold

He took me to far away places

Showed me things I’d never seen

All this beauty and grace

Did little to replace

The one thing that I really need



Chorus:

You gave me the world

In diamonds and pearls

And all that you knew how to give

But, what I needed more

You couldn’t afford

So you gave me diamonds and pearls



At times my life was a fairy tale

And you were my handsome prince

As those years passed on by

I soon realized

I never wanted all this



Chorus
