Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes

(A-wa, a-wa)

(A-wa, a-wa)

O kod wa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange

(A-wa, a-wa)

Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani

(A-wa, a-wa)

Amanto mbazane ayeza

She's a rich girl

She don't try to hide it

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

He's a poor boy

Empty as a pocket

Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose

Sing, ta-na-na, ta-na-na-na (Ta-na-na)

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa, a-wa)

Ta-na-na, ta-na-na-na (Ta-na-na)

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa, a-wa)

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa, a-wa)

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa, a-wa)

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa, a-wa)

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

People say she's crazy

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 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, ooh-ooh-ooh

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

She makes the sign of a teaspoon, he makes the sign of a wave

The poor boy changes clothes and he 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 diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say, ooh-ooh-ooh

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

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
