While I'm off chasing my own dreams
If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams
Please, know that I'm yours to keep
I wish I could do better by you
Sailing around the world
Ohh, ohh
When you cry a piece of my heart dies
That's why I wrote this song to sing
One, two, one, two, three, four
But you don't ask for no diamond rings
I think I might totally be lost
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
My beautiful girl
You don't ask for no diamond rings
Please, know that I'm yours to keep
'Cause it's what you deserve
No delicate string of pearls
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
You sacrifice so much of your life
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
Knowing that I may have been the cause
But you don't ask for no diamond rings
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Knowing that I may have been the cause
I think I might totally be lost
No delicate string of pearls
And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
That's why I wrote this song to sing
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
In order for this to work
That's why I wrote this song to sing
No delicate string of pearls
