The French are glad to die for love
Always fighting in duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girlÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it wonÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you feed your pussycat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks donÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girlÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's best friend

ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂCause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Come and get me boys
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girlÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks youÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ're awful nice but get that ice or else no dice
HeÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start descend
Diamonds are a girlÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's best
Diamonds are a girlÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's best
Diamonds are a girlÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's best
LetÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's make love
EverythingÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's going so well
ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂCause thatÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's when those lasses go back to their spouses
Diamonds, are a girlÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's best friend
