[Verse 1]
There's one sittin' in a pawn shop glass counter
Someone down in California traded it for a TV
Another one in a pretty blue box
Somewhere up in New York, white ribbon, Tiffany's
One's catchin' dust in a drawer in a dresser
At your grandma's house that's been there since 1953
But honestly

[Chorus]
A diamond's just a diamond
Till you put it on the right left hand
Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything
Till one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds

[Verse 2]
I ain't sayin' they aren't pretty and the way they feel
Doesn't feel just like an answer to a little girl's dream
Ain't sayin' they ain't fun to show off to your friends
And get the chills when you hear them scream
But if your hearts not in it, forget it

[Chorus]
'Cause a diamond's just a diamond
Till you put it on the right left hand
Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything
Till one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds

[Bridge]
I don't need one just to hold on to
I don't want one unless it comes with you

[Chorus]
'Cause a diamond's just a diamond
Till you put it on the right left hand
Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything
Till one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds
