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).
