So tell me why, the first to ask
She wore diamonds on the inside
She couldn't spend one day alone
'Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She made herself a bed of nails
Any change comes as a relief
A candle throws its light into the darkness
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Is the fortune that you need
'Cos she had diamonds on the inside
What you say and do not mean
But she couldn't be satisfied
In a nasty world, so shines the good deed
But she had diamonds on the inside
You have everything to lose
For she is just a generous thief
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Follow too close behind
She wore diamonds
She had diamonds on the inside
Like a soldier long standing under fire
Oh diamonds
And she's plannin' on puttin' it to use
Diamonds, diamonds
Is the last to give every time
She wore diamonds on the inside
When you have everything
Diamonds
'Cos she had diamonds on the inside
