I used to think she was the greatest thing

I really cared, gave her a diamond ring

She said she'd rather die than ever leave me

Well I never saw her face since then

And if the law don't get her then I will-

Four little diamonds



She must be somewhere on the open road

She always said she was a lonely one

She gets you down with her tales of woe

She took me for everything

And if the law don't get her then I will

Four little diamonds



Chorus:

I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn

But she was gone with the night

I thought about the things she said

And all the things we'd done

But where could she run- she ran away

There's just no answer to give



I keep wonderin' about her, day and night

She probably thinks I was a fool- she's right

She don't know it

But I'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman

I'm gonna search everywhere

And if the law don't get her then I will

Four little diamonds



Repeat Chorus:



I still hear her callin' out to me,

I still listen for her endlessly

But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater

I gotta find where she hides

'Cause if the law don't get her then I will

Four little diamonds
