Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

I don't need love
For what good will love do me?
Diamond never lie to me
For when love's gone they'll lustre on

Diamonds are forever
Sparking round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are no
Worth going to your grave for
(Repeat)

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and forever…
