An acre of diamonds I'd offer 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 could hold
  I'd feel so wealthy with treasures untold
  If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
  
  The tears that have fallen wont buy you a thing
  The heartaches you?ve caused me wont pay for a ring
  The love that I want it would not have grown cold
  If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
  
  If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
  I'd have all the riches my pockets could hold
  I'd feel so wealthy with treasures untold
  If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
  
  But teardrops aren?t pennies
  And heartaches aren?t gold
