Lyrics

Oh, get away and don't come back
Who do you think you're foolin' with lies like that?
You have dreams that set the rain on fire
Burning with a cheap desire
And it's plain as grey that what you say
Have meanings of their own
My love, my love
She don't need diamonds
My love, my love, whoa
She don't need diamonds (don't need diamonds)
My love's more than a sweet dream
And she don't need diamonds
She shakes her hip to the tambourine
She don't need diamonds
If you can't love me for nothin'
Then you can't love me at all
And it's plain as grey that what you say
Have meanings of their own
We all got to dance and take a chance
But babe, you should've stayed at home
My love, my love
She don't need diamonds
My love, my love, whoa
She don't need diamonds (don't need diamonds)
She don't need diamonds
She don't need diamonds
If you can't love me for nothin'
Then you can't love me at all
And it's plain as grey (plain as grey)
That what you say (what you say)
Have meanings of their own
We all got to dance (got to dance)
And take a chance (take a chance)
But babe, you should've stayed at home
My love (my love), my love (my love)
She don't need diamonds
My love (my love), my love (my love)
She don't need diamonds
My love, my love
She don't need diamonds (she don't need)
My love, my love
She don't need, she don't need diamonds
My love, my love
She don't need diamonds (she don't need)
My love, my love, whoa
She don't need diamonds (she don't need)
My love, oh, my love
She don't need diamonds (she don't need)
My love, my love (whoa)
She don't need, she don't need diamonds
My love, my love
She don't need diamonds (she don't need)
My love, my love (oh)
She don't need diamonds (she don't need diamonds)
