[Verse 1]
Today, I went downtown
For just a look around
And I passed the window of Tiffany's
As I stopped to look inside
I wished that I could buy my baby
One of those diamond rings
And lots of other fancy things
[Verse 2]
Oh, as I walked on down the block
I passed a ritzy shop
With all the latest Paris gowns
But, I'm a daydreaming guy
Who can't afford what he wants to buy
So, I bought her something from a little shop
That didn't cost an awful lot
[Chorus]
Oh, I want the best for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl, yeah
But all that I can give her
Is a love that'll last forever
And these blue ribbons for her curls, hah!
Can't buy her diamonds or pearls
(Hey now)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I want the best for my baby
Hey, nothing's too good for my girl, yeah
But all that I can give her
Is a love that'll last forevеr
And these blue ribbons for hеr curls, oh
Can't buy her diamonds or pearls, oh now
[Outro]
Just these blue ribbons for her curls
