Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feeling the way I do, it's hard to keep focus
One minute, staring at the moon
Next, into your eyes
It's no surprise, mmm, that my knees weaken
At the lovely words you're speaking, oh
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la
It takes more than diamonds to woo me
La-la-la-la, la-la
It takes more than money to groove me
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Feeling the way I do, it's hard to keep focus
One minute, staring at the moon
Next, into your eyes
And it's no surprise that my knees did weaken
From the lovely words you're speaking
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la
It takes more than diamonds to woo me
La-la-la-la, la-la
It takes more than money to move me
La-la-la-la, la-la
It takes more than, ooh, material things
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la
It takes more than diamonds to move me
La-la-la-la, la-la
It takes more than money to groove me
La-la, la-la
It takes more than cars to get me where I need to go
Don't stop the flow
[Chorus]
It takes more than diamonds to move me
It takes more, la-la-la, than money, baby
It takes more, it takes more than material things
It takes more, it takes more
La-la-la-la
It takes more than diamonds to move me
La-la-la-la
It takes more than money to woo me
La-la-la, la-la
Takes more than material things
To get me going, baby
