An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you A solid gold mansion an airplane or two This whole world would be yours 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 riches my pockets would hold I'd feel oh so wealthy with treasures untold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing The heartaches you've caused me won't pay for a ring 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... But teardrops aren't pennies and heartaches aren't gold
