Lyrics
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end (In the end)
But square cut or pear shaped, those rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
Romance is divine, and I'm not one to knock it
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
Romance is divine, yeah, but where can you hock it
When the flame is gone? Just try and pawn an old Don Juan
Some men buy and some just sigh
That to make you their bride they intend (They intend)
But buyers or sighers, they're all awful liars
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
