An acre of diamonds I offer to you
A solid gold mansion and an airplane or two
This whole world would be yours to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
If teadrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
All the tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing
Heartaches you caused me won't pay for a ring
And the love that I wanted would not have grown cold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
But teardrops aren't pennies and heartaches aren't gold
