|
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, on her finger
|
(On her finger)
|
Yes, 'stead of a little band of gold
|
(Big blue diamond)
|
Big diamonds (big blue diamonds)
|
Big blue diamonds (big blue diamonds)
|
Tell a story of the love
|
That the one man could ever hold
|
(Of them all)
|
|
She wanted more than I had money to buy
|
So she left me, then got lonesome, I am told
|
Big diamonds, blue diamonds
|
Now she'll trade them in
|
For love behind little band of gold
|
(Little diamonds)
|
|
Big diamonds (big diamonds)
|
Big blue diamonds (big blue diamonds)
|
How they sparkle
|
But what can they do to warm your soul?
|
(Warm her soul)
|
When you're lonesome in the moonlight
|
Want the lovin', yes
|
Big as diamonds (diamonds)
|
They're blue diamonds (diamonds)
|
They're so wreckless and cold
|
(Big blue diamonds)
|
|
I'd gladly do my part to mend her broken heart
|
But the last one over grows cold
|
Big diamonds (diamonds)
|
Big blue diamonds (blue diamonds)
|
I don't want them, no-no
|
I just want a love behind a band of gold.
|
(A band of gold).
