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
