[Intro]
I’m not one for diamonds
But diamonds is all I—
Diamonds is all I—

[Verse 1]
You are so awful
You stole my breath away
You took my sorrows
Sold them for better things
Cause you—knew I like the sunshine
Nifty yachts, pretty women
I’m too awkward sometimes
I cannot handle the way
That they say that this world should work
I’d rather stay back at home
Where I’m safe ’til the worst occurs


[Pre-Hook]
But if you'd like the glory, I’m sorry
I led you on to think that money was all I wanted
I'm not that heartless and guarded
When I spend my time with you
But you know they flock and they linger
When rocks weigh your fingers
And nobody else can reduce
All of the shine that you make
They'll take it away,
But why have it if I can't have you

[Hook]
Cause I'm not one for diamonds
But diamonds all I got
If you ever see me without one
Know my times run out
So everyday I play the fool of glamor and fame
Head to toe in luxury
Cause diamonds all I got
Cause diamonds is all I—
Cause diamonds is all I—

[Verse 2]
Had, ’til I came up and came past you
Damn, I can't hold none of this past you
Need more of us girl it's past due
I called you up just to ask you
If you'd like the sunshine
On your neck, in your element—sometime
I'd like to prove that our problems dissolve
Over warm dessert
I'd like a room where our followers aren't
To show your worth

[Pre-Hook]
But if you'd like the glory, I’m sorry
I led you on to think that money was all I wanted
I'm not that heartless and guarded
When I spend my time with you
But you know they flock and they linger
When rocks weigh your fingers
And nobody else can reduce
All of the shine that you make
They'll take it away,
But why have it if I can't have you

[Hook]
Cause I'm not one for diamonds
But diamonds all I got
If you ever see me without one
Know my times run out
So everyday I play the fool of glamor and fame
Head to toe in luxury
Cause diamonds all I got
Cause diamonds is all I—
Cause diamonds is all I—
