[Verse 1]
Today, I went downtown
Ah, just to look around
And I passed the window of Tiffany
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]
Well, 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 at a little shop
That didn't cost an awful lot
[Chorus]
I want the best for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl
But all that I can give her
Is a love that'll last forever
And these blue ribbons for her curls
Ah now, can't buy her diamonds or pearls
(Get it now)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I want the best for my baby
Hey, nothing's too good for my girl
But all that I can give her
Is a love that'll last forever
And thеse blue ribbons for her curls
Ah wеll, can't buy her diamonds or pearls
[Outro]
Just these blue ribbons for her curls
Hey now, can't buy her diamonds or pearls
Ah yeah, but these blue ribbons for her curls
