Diamonds and Pearls Lyrics

This will be the day
That you will hear me say
That I will never run away
I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what you're gonna do
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would...

    An expression of love not lust, he wants to make his girl happy,and give her what ever she wants,make love to her.

    Its not about how much or how little he or she has to offer money, assets, that's all material, what he is saying is I will love you for you nothing more nothing less....

    My interpretation is it sounds like he’s singing about nipples.

    I think he is talking about his child that is not born and he was like I would give you everything in life to make u happy boy or girl.

    He lost his child and he gave it all his love, after he thinks what if there was more or something else he could have done or give. Beautiful song and love is the strongest thing but not always enough sadly

    The song is probably about a pregnancy and a father awaiting the birth of his unborn baby.

    I think it's a fathers love for his unborn child hence ( would you be a Happy girl or a boy). It's a kind of song I would personally dedicate to my present son and daughter.

    "If I gave you diamonds and pearls would you be a happy boy or girl", "but all I can do is just offer my love". He sings about not having a lot but offering all the love he has. What it be enough? I'll never have a lot but I can make you happy. Your the reason I stay. Real love can make you happy not material things.
