Lyrics Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Unreleased Version) - alternate version - Paul Simon

People say she's crazy, she got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She was physically forgotten and then she
Slipped into my pocket with my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds

And I could say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
As if everybody knows what I'm talking about
As if everybody would know exactly what I was talking about
Talkin' 'bout diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Ooh, ooh (blue diamonds)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (blue diamonds)

She makes the sign of a teaspoon, he makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said, "Honey take me dancing"
But they ended up by sleeping in a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And everybody knows what I'm talking about
I mean, everybody would know exactly what I was talking about
Talkin' about diamonds

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Blue diamonds)
(Blue diamonds)

People say I'm crazy, I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes, yeah
Well that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes
