[Chorus]
How many diamonds do I have to buy you
For you to see that you're the one for me
Girl, how many diamonds do I have to buy you (Ah-ah)
For you to see that you're mine
For you to gimme some of your time, yeah

[Verse 1]
(Eh) See, everything I try to do for you, is always in vain
'Cause you believe somebody else's version of me
That shit’s insane, eh
You should know better than trust your own gender
You know they envy us
You judge me based on my mistakes
And you won't let me explain
I'm not one to complain

[Chorus]
How many diamonds do I have to buy you (Ah-ah)
For you to see that you're the one for me
For you to let me share the air you breathe
How many diamonds do I have to buy you (Ah-ah)
For you to see that your mine
For you to gimme some of your time, yeah

[Verse 2]
(Eh) Is this you? Hanging round with ballers
And you acting brand new
Used to give me clarity, and now you confused
Use to keep your circle tight, but now its got loose
Baby, is this you?
I know you got so many man around feeding you lies
But I remember back when it was me
And you were all I ever had
I wish that we could make it last
But if I can’t go back in time and change the past
[Chorus]
Girl, how many diamonds do I have to buy (Ah-ah)
For you to see that you're the one for me
Let me get me space and let me breathe
How many diamonds do I have to buy you (Yeah, ah-ah)
For you to see that your mine
Baby, give me some time
