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 begunI want that diamond, I want that thing
A tennis bracelet, a ring
It better shine, it better cut
I know it is expensive butWhat other way can you make four months
Of your measly 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, yetI 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 fatI 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 diamond jewelry for meAnd I'll talk louder so you see
How very much it means to me
Even some little stud earrings
Give me the goddamned diamond
