I heard you've been feelin' down
Nobody's seen you around
They say that she can't be found (now what'll you do)
(Well) you're right where I've been before
So close to love's open door
Hopin' for so much more
Only to face the bitter truth
No matter what you promise, no matter what you say
You can say I love you till you're blue in the face
But tears are gonna fall if she don't love you
Oh you can buy her diamonds, shower her with pearls
Promise her forever, offer her the world
She's never gonna stay if she don't love you
I know how it feels inside
When you can't turn the tide
No matter how hard you try you're gonna hurt
I've always heard it told
Love's worth its weight in gold
And it can't be bought or sold
One of those things we never learn
No matter what you promise, no matter what you say
You can say I love you till you're blue in the face
But tears are gonna fall if she don't love you
Oh you can buy her diamonds, shower her with pearls
Promise her forever, offer her the world
She's never gonna stay if she don't love you
