Prince and the New Power Generation
Diamonds and Pearls (Long Version)
[Verse 1: Prince]
This will be the day
That you will hear me say
That I will never run away
I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what you're gonna do
[Chorus: Prince Prince & Rosie Gaines]
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
But all I can do is just offer you my love
[Verse 2: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Which one of us is right
If we always fight?
Why can't we just let love decide (Let love decide)?
Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan? (Love is the master plan)
[Chorus: Prince, Prince & Rosie Gaines]
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
But all I can do is just offer you my love
[Bridge: Rosie Gaines]
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
[Verse 3: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
There will come a time (There'll come a time)
When love will blow your mind (Blow your mind)
And everything you'll look for you'll find (Take a look inside, yeah)
That will be the time (That will be the time)
That everything will shine (Forever)
So bright it makes you colorblind (You will be colorblind)
[Chorus: Prince, Prince & Rosie Gaines, Rosie Gaines]
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
But 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? (Girl)
If I could, I would give you the world (Give you the world)
All I can do is just offer you my love (All I can do)
If I gave you diamonds and pearls (Diamonds)
Would you be, would you, would you, a happy boy or a girl?
(Would ya, would ya, would ya be happy, little baby?)
If I could, I would give you the world
All I can do is just offer you my love (All I can do)
Diamonds and pearls
If I could I would give you the world
All I can do is just offer you my love
