Lyrics:

You tell me you love me
You tell me you care
But when I'm around you
It's like I'm not there
I need a reminder
Something can see
Something on my finger
Shining so brightly

Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best - best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end

Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free

You sent me some roses
But roses do die
You gave me some candy
It melted - nice try
I'm not that demanding
I have simple taste
I just want a token
That can't go to waste
Diamonds

Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best - best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
