And if that diamond ring won't shine (If that diamond ring don't shine)
Guess it's gonna break this poor heart of mine (He's gonna break this heart of mine)
And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody, sayin'
(Yeah, yeah) No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'm might rise above, I might go below
Ride with the tide, and go with the flow
And there's a reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ears, y'all (And that's why)
(Uh-huh, uh-huh) Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby, get it
