| 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, 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 | |
| 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, take a chance? | |
| But babe you should have stayed at home | |
| My love, my love, she don't need diamonds |
