Lyrics

Hmm, hmm
This will be the day
You will hear me say
That I would never run away
I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Tell me what you're gonna do?
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl?
If I could, I would give you the world
All I can do is just offer you my love
Hmm-hmm (hmm)
Hmm-hmm (hmm)
Which one of us is right? (Right)
If we always fight? (hmm)
Why can't we just let love decide? (Let love decide)
Am I the weaker man (oh)
Because I understand (oh-oh)
That love must be the master plan (love is the master plan)
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl?
If I could, I would give you the world
'Cause all I can do is just offer you my love
D to the I, to the A, to the M
O to the N, to the D, to the pearls of love
D to the I, to the A, to the M (to the M)
O to the N, to the D, to the pearls of love
There will come a time (there come a time)
You will blow the mind (blow your mind)
And everything you look for, you'll find
(Take a look inside, yeah)
That will be the time (that will be the time)
That everything will shine (oh yeah)
So bright it makes you color-blind (you will be color-blind)
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl?
If I could, I would give you the world
All I can do is just offer you my love
If I gave you diamonds and pearls (pearls, yeah, yeah)
Would you be a happy boy or a girl? (Ooh)
If I could, I would give you the world (give you the world)
All I can do (all I can do) is just offer you my love (oh, oh)
If I gave you diamonds and pearls (diamonds)
Would you be, would you be, would you be
(Would you, would you, would you be happy, little baby?)
If I could, I would (give you the world)
