[Verse 1: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
You tell me you love me
You tell me you care
But when I'm around you
It's like I'm not there
I need a reminder
Something I can see
Something on my finger
Shining so brightly

[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end

[Refrain: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free

[Verse 2: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
You sent me some roses
But roses do die
You gave me some candy
It melted - nice try
I'm not that demanding
I have simple taste
I just want a token
That can't go to waste
Diamonds...

[Refrain: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds

[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best - best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end

[Outro: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
