Lyrics Diamonds - Dan Penn

Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds, diamonds

Today, as I-I-I look out my window (Diamonds)
I see the little girl that once loved me true (Diamonds)
The same little girl that I left for fame and fortune (Yeah)
When all the time I had diamonds in my backyard

Fools search for gold as I have
Fools think that gold can buy anything
But riches don't compare with my diamonds (My little girl out there)
I'm gonna walk right out and try to make her mine again

Now, I'm the type of guy who's been a dreamer (Diamonds)
I thought the grass looked greener on the other side (Diamonds)
But the girl next door turns out to be my diamonds, ooh (Yeah)
And all the time I had diamonds in my backyard

The little girl next door turns out to be my diamonds, yeah (Yeah)
And all the time I had diamonds in my backyard

Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds
