I never thought that we would get this far
Everybody knows just what the odds are
You could've left me a thousand times
I wouldn't have blamed you if you did
You could've met a guy with lots of things
To make you think you had it all
There must be something that I didn't see
You could've had diamonds
Instead you took me
You were the girl everyone talked about
I was the guy nobody knew
I hung around until you noticed me
I felt like a jerk
I guess it worked
Heaven knows now after all these years
Why you gave me the time of day
Maybe I'm sturdy like an old oak tree
But you could've had diamonds
Instead you took me
Girl you're the reason that
I am just who I am
Now I can't imagine any other way
There are so many men that look your way
And you could have most anyone
God is my witness as I live and breathe
You could've had diamonds
Instead you took me
You could've had diamonds
Instead you took me
