elo - four little diamonds lyrics

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

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
