Verse 1) I see you walking down that dusty street With the world’s heavy burden beneath your feet The gossips whisper when you pass them by And I see that little shimmer in your eye But I don’t care what the neighbors say I’m gonna change your world starting today. (Chorus) Oh, I’m gonna make you an honest woman, baby I’m gonna put a diamond on your hand I’m gonna make you an honest woman, baby And show your mama I’m a better man No more hiding in the shadows of the night I’m gonna bring our love into the light. (Verse 2) You’ve been living on the edge of a broken dream Nothing in this town is ever what it seems They say a girl like you shouldn’t hope for much But they don’t know the magic in your touch So dry your eyes and hold your head up high We’re gonna leave those lonesome blues to die. (Chorus) Oh, I’m gonna make you an honest woman, baby I’m gonna put a diamond on your hand I’m gonna make you an honest woman, baby And show your mama I’m a better man No more hiding in the shadows of the night I’m gonna bring our love into the light. (Bridge) We’ll find a little house with a picket fence And leave behind this world of pretense Just a gold ring and a preacher’s vow The whole wide world’s gonna see us now! (Guitar Solo - Jangle Pop Style) (Chorus) Oh, I’m gonna make you an honest woman, baby I’m gonna put a diamond on your hand I’m gonna make you an honest woman, baby And show your mama I’m a better man No more hiding in the shadows of the night I’m gonna bring our love into the light.
