Leon Redbone - Diamonds Don't Mean a Thing Lyrics

Diamonds, don't mean a thing, if the lovin' touch ain't there
Rubies, rubies on a ring, you can find them anywhere
Heartbreak, it happens every day, why am I so blue?
I've got this heartache, no matter what I do

Diamonds, don't mean a thing, when you're sleepin' all alone
Parties, never seem to swing, if that special thrill is gone
Palm trees, wavin' in the breeze, get boring too
That's my life story, oh sad but true

Diamonds, don't mean a thing, if the lovin' touch ain't there
Rubies, rubies on a ring, you can find them anywhere
Heartbreak, it happens every day, why am I so blue?
I've got this heartache, no matter what I do
