 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
