  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
