We went to Kay
On a gleeful lark remembered.
My mind was blown.
Gazing at the prices of the gleaming stones
On the dressy velvet shelves where they were shown.
We went to shop.
I bought a diamond.

My love's tall,
So gorgeous, sleek and sprightly.
We longed to set a date.
We wanted more than friendship, friendship's just so plain.
What mattered was a lovelife unrestrained.
Must sell my stock,
I bought a diamond.

I pledged my love.
Well, I stirred her and implored,
"Oh, please share in my reverie."
I spoke the words and uttered of feelings deep inside,
That I craved her love, forever by my side.
I am in hock.
I bought a diamond.

She has great looks,
And I hoped that she'd not reject me.
I was reeling in my ardor.
Pride, it filled the room, breathed her sweet perfume.
She clutched a stone, and I was touched with glee.
I am in shock.
I bought a diamond.

And the rock bleeds my pay,
But a diamond never lies.
