lyrics

In a jewelry store in a south side neighborhood
I was looking fine and pretty just like a gold diamond ring should
Dupree come in with a gun
Said, Cool out, everyone
I want that gold diamond ring ‘cause that gold diamond ring looks good
Well, he took me and he ran like a man never ran before
And he didn’t stop movin’ ‘til he reached his sweetheart’s door
He said, Betty, I stole this for you
To prove my love is true
Then he slipped on her finger and they kissed and then they kissed some more

Gold diamond ring
Shinin’ with a light from above
Gold diamond ring
Shinin’ with a true, true love
He said, Betty I stole this for you
To prove my love is true
He slipped me on her finger and they kissed and then they kissed some more

Betty and Dupree still together after all these years
There’s been some ups and downs, some laughter and some tears
Good times, bad times, too
Somehow they made it through
True love conquers all from the cradle to the rockin’ chair

Sometimes they hop in the car and they drive around the old neighborhood
Dupree points out the spot where the jewelry store stood
Betty looks at her wedding band
Third finger on her left hand
She can’t describe how she feels ‘cept to say that it sure feels good

Gold diamond ring
Shinin’ with a light from above
Gold Diamond ring
Shinin’ with a true, true love
That’s right here I am
Third finger on her left hand
We can’t describe how we feel ‘cept to say that it sure feels good
