Dobie Gray - Blue Ribbons Lyrics

Dobie Gray Lyrics

"Blue Ribbons"
(originally by Vic Dana)

Today, I went downtown
Ah, just to look around
And I passed the window of Tiffany
As I stopped to look inside
I wished that I could buy my baby
One of those diamond rings
And lots of other fancy things

Well ah, as I walked on down the block
I passed a ritzy shop
With all the latest Paris gowns
But, I'm a daydreaming guy
Who can't afford what he wants to buy
So, I bought her something from a little shop
That didn't cost an awful lot

Well, I want the best for my baby, yeah
Yeah, I said, nothing's too good for my girl
Yeah, I said, but all that I can give her
Is a love that'll last forever
And these blue ribbons for her curls
Just these blue ribbons for her curls

I want the best for my baby, yeah (yeah)
Nothing's too good for my girl
Yeah, I said, but all that I can give her
Is a love that'll last forever
And these blue ribbons for her curls, (curls) yeah, yeah, yeah
Just these blue ribbons for her curls (curls)

No, no, no, no
Can't buy her diamonds or pearls (pearls)
One more time, yeah
