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.
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.
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 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.
