Diamonds

There’s one sittin’ in a pawn shop, glass counter

Someone down in California traded it for a TV

Another one in a pretty blue box

Somewhere up in New York, white ribbon, Tiffany’s

One’s catchin' dust in a drawer in a dresser

At your grandma’s house that’s been there since 1953

But honestly

A diamond’s just a diamond till you put it on the right left hand

Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand

'Cause some things don’t mean anything

Till one day they mean everything

And you’re flyin’, smilin’, and shinin’

Kinda like diamonds

Kinda like diamonds

I ain’t sayin’ they ain’t pretty

And the way they feel, doesn’t feel

Just like an answer to a little girl’s dream

Ain’t sayin' they ain’t fun to show off to your friends

And get the chills when you hear them scream

But if your heart’s not in it, forget it

'Cause a diamond’s just a diamond till you put it on the right left hand

Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand

'Cause some things don’t mean anything

Till one day they mean everything

And you’re flyin’, smilin’, and shinin’

Kinda like diamonds

Kinda like diamonds

I don’t need one just to hold on to

I don’t want one unless it comes with you

'Cause a diamond’s just a diamond till you put it on the right left hand

And love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand

That some things don't mean anything

Till one day they mean everything

And you’re flyin’, smilin’, and shinin’

Kinda like diamonds

Kinda like diamonds
