Paperboy

Every morning, 4AM, you rolled out of bed into his clothes Hop on his bike, no goodbye, just hit the road While the world was dreaming Saving every penny for a girl who stole his heart And he'd say Some day I'll buy her diamonds And I'm gonna buy her pearls And if it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna give her the world Ain't nothing a boy won't do for his girl You see her Mom and Dad had left behind a diamond wedding ring A string of pearls and memories sitting sent Daddy off to drink And times got tough, he sold them off to pawn shop down the street Pressed against the glass, the paperboy praying for another week Thinking Some day I'll buy her diamonds And I'm gonna buy her pearls And if it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna give her the world Ain't nothing a boy won't do for his girl A knock on the door, there stands a man all dressed all in blue Said "I'm sorry darling I'm afraid I got bad news That your pickup boy had an Accident and they couldn't pull him through And all he had was his jewellery box and a letter meant for you" And he'd say Some day I'll buy her diamonds And I'm gonna buy her pearls And if it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna give her the world Ain't nothing a boy won't do for his girl Some day I'll buy her diamonds And I'm gonna buy her pearls And if it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna give her the world Ain't nothing a boy won't do Oh, there ain't nothing this boy won't do Ain't nothing a boy won't do for his girl
