Four Little Diamonds

About Four Little Diamonds

"Four Little Diamonds" is a song by the British rock music group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) from their 1983 album Secret Messages. It was also featured on their compilation albums Afterglow (with a slightly longer intro) and Flashback. The single did not do very well in the US, spending only 2 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaking at number 86. It also charted low in the UK peaking at number 84. The song refers to the search made by the singer for his cheating lover who emotionally conned him out of a ring which had 'four little diamonds' set into it. There was also a UK 12 inch JET 3 Track version with "The Bouncer" on the B-side. more »

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
