  • You walked in shining brighter than a headlight
    Turning every head like a diamond in a coal mine
    Packing more punch than a Mississippi fist fight
    Oh oh my my

    Walked my way, took my hand, said "Let's go"
    Had more game than the Mandalay Casino
    Thought I hit the jackpot, I was on a good roll
    Showed you what I know

    Too good to be true
    Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes
    Like money falling out of the blue
    Don't be fooled
    He ain't nothing but too good to be real
    Don't believe the way he's making you feel
    He'll break your pretty little heart in two
    Momma told me about boys like you
    Too good to be true

    Before I knew it my heartstrings unwound
    I fell faster than a cannonball straight down
    Everybody talking all over this now:
    "Look there he goes again"

    Lie lie lied like a politician
    Shoulda read the headlines, paid more attention
    To my suspicions, my intuition
    I shoulda listened

    Too good to be true
    Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes
    Like money falling out of the blue
    Don't be fooled
    He ain't nothing but too good to be real
    Don't believe the way he's making you feel
    He'll break your pretty little heart in two
    Momma told me about boys like you
    Too good to be true

    I shoulda seen it from a mile away
    I should have called a spade a spade
    I shoulda known that you're

    Too good to be true
    Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes
    Like money falling out of the blue
    Don't be fooled
    He ain't nothing but too good to be real
    Don't believe the way he's making you feel
    He'll break your pretty little heart in two
    Momma told me about boys like you
    Too good to be true

    Too good to be true

    You're just too good to be (too good to be)
    You're just too good to be (too good to be)
    You're just too good to be true
    Too good to be true
    You're just too good to be
    You're just too good to be
    You're just too good to be true Writer/s: GORDIE SAMPSON, HILLARY LINDSEY, TROY VERGES
