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 on the soles of her shoes
And I could say ooh ooh ooh
As if everybody knows
What I was talking about
I said everybody here knows 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
She said honey take me dancing
But they ended up sleeping
In the doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing those diamonds
I could say ooh ooh ooh
As if everybody knows
What I was talking about
I said everybody here knows exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
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 our shoes
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
Ta na na
Ta na na na
She's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Ta na na
Ta na na na
She's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
