Diamonds I Don't Want
I walk the line, I treat him kind
Give everything he wants
I even join him Friday night
At all those honkytonks
Instead of giving love to me
It's all just things he bought
Oh, I'd rather have a loving man
Than diamonds I don't want
I opened up to settling down
I gave up being free
But all I ever asked of him
Is to try asking after me
I dress up nice and hope he'll see
A shining debutant
But instead of making eyes at me
He gives diamonds I don't want
I know my jewelry box is full
Of useless bands and shining coal
But I'd give up every piece of gold
For butterflies and a title role
I'll sell the car, I'll toss the clothes
I'll list our house today
If I could have a man who knows
That I'm someone, Lord I pray
I don't need to be priority
Just not an afterthought
But instead of all that love could be
I get diamonds I don't want
Instead of all that love could be
I get diamonds I don't want
Give everything he wants
I even join him Friday night
At all those honkytonks
Instead of giving love to me
It's all just things he bought
Oh, I'd rather have a loving man
Than diamonds I don't want
I opened up to settling down
I gave up being free
But all I ever asked of him
Is to try asking after me
I dress up nice and hope he'll see
A shining debutant
But instead of making eyes at me
He gives diamonds I don't want
I know my jewelry box is full
Of useless bands and shining coal
But I'd give up every piece of gold
For butterflies and a title role
I'll sell the car, I'll toss the clothes
I'll list our house today
If I could have a man who knows
That I'm someone, Lord I pray
I don't need to be priority
Just not an afterthought
But instead of all that love could be
I get diamonds I don't want
Instead of all that love could be
I get diamonds I don't want
