[Verse 1]
Yeah man, that sure is one big old 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 its own
Something will happen when she slips it on
They never tell ya at the jewelry store

[Chorus]
Diamonds make babies
And babies make mammas
And mammas make daddies make changes they don't always wanna
I know that you love her
She's one special lady
I'm telling you brother
Diamonds make babies

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause diamonds make babies
And babies make mammas
And mammas make daddies make changes they don't always wanna
I know that you love her
She's one special lady
I'm telling you brother
Diamonds make babies
Oh, diamonds make babies
And babies make mammas
And mammas make daddies make changes they don't always wanna
I know that you love her
She's one special lady
But I'm telling you brother
Diamonds make babies

[Outro]
Yeah, I know this sounds crazy
But diamonds make babies
