Lyrics

[Verse] I wish I could do better by you Cause that's what you deserve You sacrifice so much of your life In order for this to work While I'm off chasing my own dreams Sailing around the world Please know that I'm yours to keep My beautiful girl When you cry a piece of my heart dies Knowing that I may have been the cause If you were to leave Fulfill someone else's dreams I think I might totally be lost [Chorus] You don't ask for no diamond rings No delicate strings of pearls That's why I wrote this song to sing My beautiful girl [Post-Chorus] Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh [Verse] I wish I could do better by you Cause that's what you deserve You sacrifice so much of your life In order for this to work While I'm off chasing my own dreams Sailing around the world Please know that I'm yours to keep My beautiful girl And when you cry a piece of my heart dies Knowing that I may have been the cause If you were to leave Fulfill someone else's dreams I think I might totally be lost [Chorus] But you don't ask for no diamond ring (Diamond ring) No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls) That's why I wrote this song to sing My beautiful girl [Post-Chorus] Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh Ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh [Chorus] But you don't ask for no diamond ring (Diamond ring) No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls) That's why I wrote this song to sing My beautiful girl (My beautiful girl) [Outro] I get so distracted By some people's reactions That I don't see my own faults For what they are
