Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Unreleased Version) - alternate version
People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well, that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
But then she slipped into my pocket with my car keys
She said, "You've taken me for granted because I please you
Wearing these diamonds"
And I could say," Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo"
As if everybody knows what I'm talking about
As if everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
She makes the sign of a teaspoon, he makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes, and he puts on aftershave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said, "Honey, take me dancing"
But they ended up by sleeping in a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say, "Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo"
And everybody here would know what I was talking about
I mean, everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about
I'm talking about diamonds
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes, yeah
Well, that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of our shoes
