5th C
I walked into that jewelry store
With two months' pay in hand,
Thinking love was cut and polished
Just like that salesman planned.
He talked clarity and color,
Cut and carat shining bright
But none of that prepared me
For what comes home at night.
'Cause there's a fifth C he don't mention,
Son, he leaves that one off the chart
Crazy... the kind you fall for
'Til it tattoo's on your heart.
If she's crazy enough to say yes to you,
You better saddle up and see
Diamonds may last forever,
But crazy ain't ever free.
He sized the ring, said, "Boy, relax
She'll cry when she sees this thing."
I said, "Sir, I ain't scared of cryin'
It's what she throws that's got some swing."
She's fire, she's thunder, lightning
Sweet as summer, sharp as steel.
If she says yes, God bless you
'Cause that girl is the real deal.
Yeah, that fifth C he won't mention,
'Cause no chart can measure wild
The kind of crazy that keeps you running
Like a fool in love and smiling wide.
If she's crazy enough to say yes to you,
And you're crazy enough to agree
Diamonds might buy the moment,
But this shit makes it destiny.
Two months' pay don't get you far
When she's dragging you to meet her folks
And if you're thinkin' of backing out,
Two months won't get you off-grid, not even close.
But boy
The right kind of crazy?
That's the kind you live for.
Here's to the fifth C nobody teaches
The spark you can't appraise or weigh.
If she's crazy enough to love you back,
Don't run-just kneel and pray.
'Cause carats shine, and cuts look fine,
But love ain't chemistry
It's two fools sayin' "what the hell,"
And jumping anyway.
