Baby Wants a Diamond Ring
Sparkling Desires: Baby's Quest for a Diamond Ring
Lyrics
Hey there baby
Addressing the person as "baby."
I have gotten some news for you
Announcing news or information.
You think you're something out of sight
Believing oneself to be impressive or exceptional.
To take me out every night
Spending money to entertain or impress.
Take me out show me everything
Desiring to be taken out and shown various things.
But you won't do the right thing
Not doing what is morally or socially right.
Baby wants a diamond to have and hold
Expressing a desire for a diamond.
A diamond ring with a band of gold
Desiring a specific type of diamond ring.
string of pearls are so nice
Appreciating pearls but considering them less valuable.
But it ain't worth a trip to paradise
Implying that pearls are not as desirable as something else.
Your weary romance is much too slow
Characterizing the romance as tiring or exhausting.
You gotta give up o that dough
Suggesting the necessity of giving money.
Baby wants a diamond to have and hold
Reiterating the desire for a diamond.
A diamond ring with a band of gold
Reiterating the specific desire for a diamond ring.
