Tonight's the night I think we gotta talk
And not in here - come on let's take a walk, yeah
You came for sex without much words
I understand that perfect but it starts to hurt
After a while I can't deliver
I'm feeling tired, cold and start to shiver

[Chorus:]
When you bring me these dirty diamonds
In exchange for some dirty love
You can't keep me with dirty diamonds
'Cause how can I be your lover
How can I exist when it kills my heart?

A broken toy made of silk and sweat
Another fix you ain't getting yet, no
I came for love and not some game
I understand you're crazy but I'm not that sane
Caught in the smile that's painted on you
I'm getting smarter now I gotta lose you

[Chorus]

Ooh - it was so beautiful when we started
Ooh - it ain't that beautiful how we parted

[Chorus]

You bring me these dirty diamonds
In exchange for some dirty love
You can't keep me with dirty diamonds
'Cause how can I be your lover
How can I exist?
No I cannot be your lover
I can't exist when it kills my heart
