(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 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
She got diamonds
On the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds
On the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

People say she's crazy
She 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
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 oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
On the soles of her shoes

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And 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 oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here
Would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds

People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds
On the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes
