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