My Diamond

Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo

You are the Lady in My Life

I'm a rich man

They cut my lights off yesterday

And I don't have the money to pay

My baby lights a candlelight anyway

So we're OK

I'm a rich man

But I don't have a job currently

And that's just fine with my baby and me

Cause we find other ways to keep busy

You know what I mean

Chorus

You're my diamond

Baby I love the way you shine

Shine baby (Shine baby)

your my diamond girl I'm so glad to say you're mine

I'm a rich man

But I don't have a car to drive

And truthfully I don't even mind

My baby walks around with me all the time oh yeah

I'm a rich man

Said I'm the wealthiest man in the world

But I've got no money no goals no string of pearls

I don't need nothing as long as I got my girl

cause she's my world

repeat chorus
