[Verse 1]
Oh, my heart is cryin' in the night for you
Oh my God, oh, don't you feel like a fool
You're foolin' yourself with a millionaire
You think it's love but he don't care
And one of these days you're gonna be surprised

[Refrain]
Diamonds never made a lady
Lover or a friend, I know it
Diamonds never made a lady
Oh, your dreams will end, I know it

[Chorus]
The California nights when I held you tight
Was just a dream
But all the diamond lights
Can't give you peaceful lives or sweet dreams

[Verse 2]
Oh my God, you really think you have it made
Your heart is one with first-class expensive paint
You drink champagne, eat caviar
A color-TV in a back of your car
But one of these days you're gonna be surprised
[Refrain]
Diamonds never made a lady
Lover or a friend, I know it
Diamonds never made a lady
Oh, your dreams will end, I know it

[Chorus]
The California nights when I held you tight
Was just a dream
But all the diamond lights
Can't give you peaceful lives or sweet dreams
The California nights when I held you tight
Was just a dream
But all the diamond lights
Can't give you peaceful lives or sweet dreams
The California nights when I held you tight
Was just a dream
But all the diamond lights
Can't give you peaceful lives—
