[Verse 1] I don’t need no diamonds (she don’t need) And I don’t need no money (she don’t need, she don’t) Some people live in castles with sixty or seventy rooms (she don’t) Some people dream about a penthouse doll or a mansion on the moon
[Chorus] But I got me a little one room paradise and the man I love (and the man I love) And that’s all I need now And the man I love (and the man I love)
[Verse 2] Some girls are crazy about diamonds (diamonds) Some go wild about pearls (go wild) Some girls go for a lot of loot from a check book that isn't hers (show isn't hers)
[Chorus] But I got me a little one room to paradise and the man I love (and the man I love) And that’s all I need now And the man I love (and the man I love)
[Verse 3] Now, if one day he lucks up on a magic pot of gold (pot of gold) I wouldn't mind a little diamond ring or a fur coat for the cold (ooh) But if it meant I had to lose just what I've got right now (right now) Then I don’t need no gold anyhow (no, no, oh) I can’t make love with no diamonds (diamonds) Give them all to somebody else (anybody) And what good is one hundred rooms if you’re debtor by yourself (yes, you)
[Chorus] So I’ll take me my little one room paradise and the man I love (and the man I love) Well, that’s all I need now And the man I love (and the man I love)
[Outro] I don’t need no diamonds (she don’t need no diamonds) Said I don’t need no money (she don’t need no money, she don’t)
