Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

I don't need love
For what good can love do me
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll luster on

Diamonds are forever
Sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for

I don't need love
For what good can love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll luster on

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever

    General Comment:Diamonds Are Forever is the soundtrack for the 7th James Bond film of the same name. This song was the second James Bond theme to be performed by Shirley Bassey, after Goldfinger in 1964. Arctic Monkeys covered this live at Glastonbury Festival in 2007, so I thought I'd put it up.
