I want a diamond, I really do
I think that you should give me one
Then you can prove your love is true
And that the gift giving has just begun

I want that diamond, I want that thing
A tennis bracelet, a ring
It better shine, it better cut
I know it is expensive but

What other way can you make four months of your misery salary last a lifetime?
And what other thing have I ever asked you for?
Besides
The ability to read my mind
And I didn't get that either, yet

I want that diamond, I want it so
All of my irritating friends will know
That I have worth, not only that
But that you love me even though I'm fat

I want that thing, I want it now
I'll say it once, I don't care how you get it
You can rob a store, there just is nothing
I want more than a diamond jewelry for me
And I'll talk louder so you see how very much it means to me
Even some little stud earrings
Give me the goddamned diamond
