Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me, they can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night, have no fear that they might hurt me
Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it, touch it, stroke it, and undress it
I can see every part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me
I don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For, when love's go~ne, they luster on!
Diamonds are forever
Sparkling surrounds my little finger, and, like men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for
I don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For, when love's go~ne, they luster on!
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
For~ever and everrrrrrrrrrr!!
