[Verse 1]
Diamonds are forever

They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night

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 gone
They'll luster on
[Verse 3]

Unlike 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?
[Verse 4]
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll luster on
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever
