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  Repeat 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
