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 begun



I want that diamond, I want that thing

A tennis bracelet, a ring

It better shine, it better cut

I know it is expensive but...



What other way can you make four months of your measely 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, Yet



I 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 fat



I 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 me

And I'll talk louder so you see how very much it means to me!

Even some little stud earrings

Give me the goddamned diamond!
