My Only Jewel

My Only Jewel
(Susie Salley 2004)


I've heard it said that a diamond is a girls best friend
A token of affection from her man
A marriage purposal and a little rock
When the flame burns down, it's ready to hock
You'll vow to never ever do it again

I hate to admit but I've had a few
Promises of love to be untrue
But now there just broken shards of glass
Not a guarantee that love will last
No regrets, I've tossed away those blues

Pre chorus Bridge:
I'd given up on love
A gift from above
True love is more
Than trinkets found in a jewelry store

Chorus:
Now I got a diamond that'll last forever
There's nothin we can't do now that we're together
We got simple gold wedding bands
You see my only jewel is my man
Oh yes, diamonds are a girls best friend


I don't need an oval or marquis
He's everything a perfect cut for me
Well I've seen him sparkle in the dark
Sayin' ooh la la he left his mark
Oh yes, diamonds are a girl's best friend


Now I got a diamond that'll last forever
There's nothin' we can't do now that we're together
We got simple gold wedding bands
You see my only jewel is my man
Oh yes, diamonds are a girls best friend
Oh yes, diamonds are a girls best friend
