Big diamonds, big diamonds on her finger
Instead of that little band of gold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds tell the story
Of a love that no man could ever hold.
Well she wanted more than I had money to buy
So she left me ... I've been told.
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, now she traded
For the love behind that band of gold.
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, I don't want them
I don't want the love behind that band of gold.
