Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

People think she's crazy 'cause she's 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's physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
She's wearing these diamonds on the soles of her shoes

I could say oooh, oooh, oooh
As if everybody here knows
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here knows
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking 'bout diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
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 these diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say oooh, oooh, oooh
As if everybody here knows
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here knows
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking 'bout diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Oooh

People think I'm crazy 'cause I got
Diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well, that's one way to lose these
Walking blues
Talking 'bout diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Talking 'bout diamonds on the soles of my shoes
