An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two This world would be yours dear to have and to hold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold I'd have all the treasures my pockets to hold I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold The tears that you've caused me won't buy you one thing The heartaches you've brought me won't pay for a ring The love that I wanted my God have grown cold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
