Diamonds Make Babies
Written by Jim Beavers, Chris Stapleton, Lee Thomas Miller
yeah man that sure is one big ol’ rock
it takes up half of that velvet box
i know you’ve given this a lot of thought
you’re gonna get a yes for sure
that thing is more than just a simple stone
it’s got some crazy powers all it’s own
something will happen when she slips it on
they never tell you at the jewelry store
(chorus)
diamonds make babies and babies make mamas
and mamas make daddies make changes they don’t always wanna
i know that you love her
she’s one special lady
but i’m warnin’ you brother
diamonds make babies
you’ll talk about it on the honeymoon
you’ll both agree that it’s way too soon
next thing you know she’s seein’ pink and blue
everywhere she goes cause…
(chorus x2)
i know this sounds crazy
but diamonds make babies
