You don't know how it feels
To watch you waste a love so real
On a man who doesn't even know your name
Well I know he's rich and I know he's nice
I also know he's cold as ice
And he'll drop you when he tires of the game

But even if you know I'm right
You're too far gone to see the light
And you'll follow him to the ends of the earth

Refrain:
His love won't last, not as long as mine
And when he's put you down
Well I'll be there to dry your eyes
And hold you close to me
Well I don't like it
But I guess that's how it's gonna be

You tell me all the things he gives to you
Diamond rings, eyes of blue
Tropic stars, and pretty cars to park
Well I have to say, I hope you're right
But darling don't you dim the light
Cuz diamonds don't sparkle in the dark

But take your chance, I wish you well
But you'll be back, I can tell
But don't be long cuz I know it's wrong for me
To wait so patiently

Refrain
