Four Little Diamonds Lyrics
(Spoken:
"Is this on?"
"Yeah, it's not on."
"OK, after four. Four!")
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus: repeat
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
'Cos if the law don't get her then I will --
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
"Is this on?"
"Yeah, it's not on."
"OK, after four. Four!")
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 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
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 still listen for her endlessly
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
I gotta find where she hides
'Cos if the law don't get her then I will --
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds

I always think of this song as "Dont' Bring Me Down - Part 2" both in terms of sound, and the underlying relationship that fell apart. Play them back-to-back and you see what I mean.
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius - period.
My favorite part is the intro. It goes like this... "After four.. FOUR!". I can't help laughing out loud everytime I listen to this song. It's funny that this is so funny to me.
Looking for his lost love? This song ROCKS
Yeah, looking for her so he can get that damn ring back! Great rock tune!
Thanks dodge10536 - what you said makes sense. And it's a great excuse to get the track out again for another listen :) XXX
I love this song, but should it be 'one little diamond'? Most engagement rings are solitaires, aren't they?
@Blulu I assumed she was spontaneously engaged to 3 other men, including the singer. She's being pursued by the police for fraud, thus "if the law doesn't get her, then I will."

I actually have this scenario all scripted out into a movie called "4 Little Diamonds," that I came up with during a looooong drive.

This song sounds like She pissed Him off, because she lied to him and stole something from him, perhaps 4 little diamonds (could be a guitar?) & he is after her, trying to chase her down with police or himself to get the diamonds back. RE konayim.. FOUR is funny and you can hear before that "is this on?" LOL
A song about a boyfriend who got cheated on by her girlfriend and now he's trying to track her down to kill her. ( " 'Cause if the law don't get her then I will ")
