Diamonds Lyrics by Dan Penn

Close to Me

0

[Intro]
(Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds, diamonds)

[Verse 1]
Today, as I-I-I look out my window (Diamonds)
I see the little girl that once loved me true (Diamonds)
The same little girl that I left for fame and fortune (Yeah)
When all the time I had diamonds in my backyard

[Bridge]
Fools search for gold as I have
Fools think that gold can buy anything
But riches don't compare with my diamonds (My little girl out there)
I'm gonna walk right out and try to make her mine again

[Verse 2]
Now, I'm the type of guy who's been a dreamer (Diamonds)
I thought the grass looked greener on the other side (Diamonds)
But the girl next door turns out to be my diamonds, ooh (Yeah)
And all the time I had diamonds in my backyard

[Refrain]
Thе little girl next door turns out to be my diamonds, yеah (Yeah)
And all the time I had diamonds in my backyard

[Outro]
(Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds, diamonds)
