D most precious stone is the world
I want to be a diamond
A diamond
M for millions of years
O as in too old for tears
N as in never cry and never die
D as in diamonds, d as in diamonds
D as in diamonds never die
I means me and not you
A as I like being alone
M for a mine of my own
O you would like to own me
N for never never never
D for diamonds are forever
The hardest substance in the world
I wanna cut through glass
Say, nothing gonna brake me
Mo hands could ever make me
There may be millions of stones
But I relay on brilliant zion
Ain’t nobody gonna make jewelery out of me
Ain’t nobody gonna make jewelery out of me
Diamonds, oh… I wanna be a diamond, oh
Diamonds, oh… I’m gonna be a diamond, oh
Diamonds, oh… I wanna be a diamond, oh
Diamonds, oh… I’m gonna be a diamond, oh
