You give her diamonds
You give me coal
She throws me rubies
Red as her soul
My emerald eyes
Hard to disguise
Wish I had diamonds
Instead of lies
Diamonds in your eyes
When you see her
Diamonds in your eyes
Can’t tell lies
Cold coal in your eyes
But not to my surprise
There’s no diamonds in your eyes
No diamonds in your eyes
When you see me
You give her diamonds
You give me coal
She throws me rubies
Red as her soul
My emerald eyes
Hard to disguise
Wish I had diamonds
Instead of lies
Diamonds in your eyes
When you see her
Diamonds in your eyes
Can’t tell lies
Cold coal in your eyes
But not to my surprise
So just tell me tell me
(diamonds in your eyes)
Tell me tell me
(diamonds in your eyes)
Please just tell me
The truth
You give her diamonds
You give me coal
She throws me rubies
Red as her soul
My emerald eyes
Hard to disguise
Wish I had diamonds
Instead of your lies
