Our love was velvet
Our love was gold
Our love was written
In the days of old
You smelled like cedar
A box of cigars
Your love kept me searching
So deep in the stars
I wanted diamonds
I wanted pearls
Thought I could be a woman
If I became your girl
I wanted diamonds
I wanted pearls
Thought I could be a woman
If I became your girl
We danced until morning
Sang through the night
Your love left me breathless
Held on so tight
I wanted diamonds
I wanted pearls
Thought I could be a woman
If I became your girl
So you gave me a diamond
Wrapped me in pearls
I melted away into your sweet world
Oh I can't sleep
In this bed I made
Oh I can't sleep
Oh what a mess
What a mess we made
Oh I can't sleep
Oh I'll run from the diamonds
I'll run from the gold
I'll wish I was younger
When I finally grow old
So just give me your hat dear
Just sing me a song
Diamonds are forever
And we'll never last that long
