Oh getaway and don't come back
   Who do you think you're fooling 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, she 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
   And she don't need diamonds
   If you can't love me for nothing
   They 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, take a chance?
   But babe you should have stayed at home
   My love, my love, she don't need diamonds
