If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
This whole world would be yours to have and to hold
An acre of diamonds I'd offer to you
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
The love that I wanted would not have grown cold
A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two
The heartaches you've caused me won't pay for a ring
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the treasures my pockets would hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing
