Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
(a-wa) O kodwa 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 girlShe don't try to hide itDiamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boyEmpty as a pocketEmpty as a pocket with nothing to loseSing Ta na naTa na na na naShe got diamonds on the soles of her shoesShe got diamonds on the soles of her shoesDiamonds on the soles of her shoesDiamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say she's crazyShe got diamonds on the soles of her shoesWell, that's one way to loseThese walking bluesDiamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgottenThen she slipped into my pocketWith my car keysShe said you've taken me for grantedBecause I please youWearing these diamonds
And I could say Oo oo ooAs if everybody knowsWhat I'm talking aboutAs if everybody here would knowExactly what I was talking aboutTalking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoonHe makes the sign of a waveThe poor boy canges clothesAnd puts on after-shaveTo compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey, take me dancingBut they ended up by sleepingIn a doorwayBy the bodegas and the lights onUpper BroadwayWearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say Oo oo ooAnd everybody here would knowWhat I was talking aboutI mean everybody here would knowExactly what I was talking aboutTalking about diamonds
People say I'm crazyI got diamonds on the soles of my shoesWell, that's one way to loseThese walking bluesDiamonds on the soles of your shoes
