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 diamonds, just a diamond 'til you put it on the right left hand
Love is just a word 'til you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'

Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds
I ain't saying they aren't pretty and the way they feel
Doesn't feel just like an answer to a little girls dream
Ain't saying they ain't fun to show off
To your friends and get the chills when you hear them scream
But if your hearts not in it, forget it

'Cause a diamonds, just a diamond 'til you put it on the right left hand
Love is just a word 'til you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything 'til 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 diamonds, just a diamond 'til you put it on the right left hand
And love is just a word 'til you feel it and finally understand

That some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds
