You know, I'm gonna dance for you, mister, I'll sing you a song,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong,
Oh, oh, can't you see?
Well, my love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond,
To give, to give to me
You'll find none like him,
though you search the whole world round
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
And that's why I'll need the best lawyer in town
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I must find a lawyer, the best one in town
For can't you see
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To prove his love to me
