You may have diamonds, you may have pearls
You may think you got it baby, over all the other girls
But honey you ain’t got nothing
And I’ll tell you why
If you’re empty as a soul can be, baby
Way down inside
(Chorus)
You better start saving up
For the things that money can’t buy
You better start saving up
For the things that money can’t buy
You may have a big back yard,
And ruby rings
And my love is just a second place runner
Honey, to your fancy things
But what you got to hold on to
When the lights go down
You come looking for me baby
But I ain’t nowhere around
(Chorus)
You need a strong man, baby
To love and understand you
A man who ain’t afraid, sugar
To get some dirt on his hands for you
And when you’re feeling so downhearted
And all you wanna do is cry
Just come on take my hand baby
Together you and I
We could start ...
(Chorus)
