Alpert, Herb - Diamonds Lyrics
You told me you love me
You told me you care
But when I'm around you
It's like I'm not there
Something I can see
Something on my finger shines so brightly
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds - love don't come for free
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds - love don't come for free
They say you need some roses
But roses do die
You gave me some candy
It melted
Nice try
I'm not that demanding
I have simple taste
I just want a token that can't go to waste - Diamonds
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds - love don't come for free

Alpert, Herb Diamonds Comments
This shit SLAPS WOOOO jamming this into 2020!!!
jimmy jam and terry Lewis is long overdue. spot in the rock n roll hall of fame .
even though i enjoy listening too herb Albert very much Janet your my best friend and always will be with me till the end and not jj walker too lol
I remember when this came out. I'd be taking students to horse shows , competing all day , then back at the hotel at night dancing my ass off with my older clients. So much fun . I especially loved this song that the DJ was calling me Diamond girl lol. Diamonds are my birthstones. However , if I ever got married I so don't need a diamond. An honest guy would do for me !!
Jam n Lewis sound like prince dance electric
No it doesn't! I'm a huge Prince fan and this is an original. But, I respect your opinion.
@dcride36 the intro to song go back n listen to Andre cymone version
Dude I've listened to both songs since the 1980's. You may hear something no one else does; I'm not sure. But, if you believe it sounds similar or the same, that's you. The recording industry and a few other noteworthy, famous musicians would disagree--same as me.
@dcride36 I do look n hear shit different than you
I can do without the cursing but understood!
My dad had this on cd. Wicked listen. Picked up the cassette for a $1.
i miss the 80s!
Great song by two artists that I admire!
Gotta love those groovy beats.
Herp Alpert & Janet Jackson
"Diamonds"
#5, 1987.
JANET JACKSON Diamonds Lyrics
[Verse 1: Janet Jackson]
You told me you love me
You told me you care
But when I'm around you
It's like I'm not there
I need a reminder
Something I can see
Something on my finger shines so brightly
[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best
Best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
[Hook: Janet Jackson]
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
[Verse 2: Janet Jackson]
They say you need some roses
But roses do die
You gave me some candy
It melted
Nice try
I'm not that demanding
I have simple taste
I just want a token that can't go to waste
Diamonds
[Instrumental Break]
[Hook: Janet Jackson]

[Chorus: Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith]
Don't you know

When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girl's best
Best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
[Hook: Janet Jackson]

[Instrumental Outro]
I always thought I was a girl's best friend... ain't I full of myself? Love this song.
Janet number ones the best album che ho comprato
I would have never guessed that this was Janet Jackson. I heard this in the grocery store the other day, and I thought it was a Britney Spears song I had never heard. This sounds exactly like early Britney Spears to me.
Yes, Diamonds, I'm here for you Miss
Jackson. Herb and his jazzy horn🔥 playing. Always a huge fan of this
collaboration of these two artists.
Never seen a live performance on
stage doing this song. FAMILY
MATTERS PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE
How in the &&&& don't you like this? Unlikes get a life.... 😝😝😝😝
" I just want a token...that won't go 2 waste"......"When u GO, THEY will still be"......"Rite HERE.....rite here... wid ME".........my gerl Janet...such grace & good taste
My Shit
Still Loving this song diamonds by Janet,still a classic!!!
Herb Alpert Janet Jackson and Lisa Keith Good Combination with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is a Blessing
Great shopping tune!!!, Herb Alpert us great on the horn
HEEEEEY!!! 😃💃🏾🤵🏾👰🏾💍 THAT'S RIGHT!!!! 😜💎
32 years later and this song is still strong! Smh, today's talent don't even come close (with the exception of Boney James and anybody he does a duet with).
What in the Herbie Hancock?
Go Janet!!
2019
Still banging
Radio forgot this song.....
80's! Gotta love the music of this time!
My new old borrowed blue diamond! Honor me as I Honor you
Dance electric n blue limousine groove
U swear this song sound like blue limousine by Appolonia 6 jam n Lewis learn from prince
The way that bass goes on this song....you have too b very loose on yo. instrument...
Gary Derrick Terry Lewis was funky
Classic👍
Listen to the beginning of this song..I love how it sinks n drifts into it..it's like she's looking at the diamonds.. daydreaming...
The Publix grocery stores in Florida be jammin the 80s. This song came on today while I was Shipt shopping and I was dancing my ass off down the aisles. This white guy about my age joined me and we were laughing our asses off. He said he saw her in concert in high school. I was 13 in 1987 8th grade. Janet was the 💣 back in the day.
Herb albert was making music back in 1956/herb albert and the Tijuana brass.feb2019
Still bangin' in 2019
YES! I COMPLETELY AGREE!😊
YESS!😊❤
"Love don't come for free" - it's does if you aren't a whore, jus sayin
2018 still tha mutherfuckin jam GO JANET
I never knew Janet Jackson sang this
Nice duo.
Yes diamonds talk loud and clear.
Not golddiggers but diamonddiggers smh
"A PERFECTION DU💥!!!"🙏🕯🎵☝️
This song annoys me. It’s boring and repetitive. Not as good as your brother, Janet. stay to the kitchen.
"Everybody's got a price!" - Ted Dibiase
This song stinks of Prince. In a good way. I love Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. But this is Prince ghostwriting. HAS to be.
Really? I didn't hear that. Where?
They use to work with prince
SCREENPLAYHOUSE LLC they just learned from prince fyte tyme
Herb was bustin a move he was killin it!!
For some strange reason, this song isn't available on iTunes anymore.
This was my jam as a 12 yr old back then
Sang JANET JACKSON YASS
And with him he will take it all, jewels and gold will guard his soul.
I LISTEN TO THIS WHILE JUMPING ON TRAMPOLENE! LOVE IT! :D
Love It !
MY FAVE FOREVER!! 87 MY YEAR!!
Still Bangin This In 2018......
Sure is !
In this video, when the little girl came out instead of Janet I was piiiiissed!
My shizit
Luv this song
Your never hear this anymore....
Don't want your money don't want your key.. Diamonds 💍❤ Love don't come for free!!
I couldn't get enough of this song in 1987 when I was 12! I absolutely loved Janet and her music all throughout the 80's and 90's 😍
The charts are NOT the same without Janet!! She is so talented!! Love ya Janet 😗 THANK YOU for making my childhood with these fab tunes Janet xx
Don't you know diamonds are a girl's best friend 😉💍💎
One of the best songs of the 80s
One of the best Janet songs, ever.. yassss!!
Well the shits cleaver and funny both ways. This is my take. Everyone was in Love with Luna. Oh I see it’s no room for finger pointing. Luna played the two of you. Cold blooded!! My innocent feelings made me a target of this Triangle with all these silent agendas....🤔
FINALLY! I used to love this song as a kid! 💎💎💎
Ha! I always thought this was Janet Jackson, but was never sure. 😁
it's a pleasure to ,listen this song oh yes
He was way better when he was working with the Tijuana Brass
When I was younger I swore this was sung by Paula Abdul! I was too little to hear the difference I guess, but I loved the hell out of this song!
Play, Herb!!
BEST VERSION OF ALL!
diamonds private. basic trng ft bliss, tx. diamond push-ups all day
I’m seeing Janet on the 16th...I CANT WAIT!!!
Flyte time too it to flight. Yess
Nice Song..Love the Trumpet 🎺
This song took me back to my childhood memories I love it!
LOVE THIS SONG!!!
In 1979 Herb Alpert hit number 1 with "Rise"... killer bass line in "Rise" sampled for "Hypnotize" by Notorious B.I.G.
I heard this song just the other day on the 80's channel. I love this song I remembered the lyrics to this song it's been 29 years I've heard this song. love it.
Gotta do the Bucky!
❣❣👍👍
Great song. This that Funk and you can't fake it!
This song was the JAM around June, 1987
True dat!
And it still is!😊
I always thought herb alpert was black
classic!! nothing for free!!
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis squeezed every drop of rythm out of that Roland TR-808 drum machine
NOT A DRUM MACHINE.....ITS JELLYBEAN JOHNSON, FROM THE TIME
I danced my ass off to this song in the 80's. Still do. Love it!
Wowwwwww......And I'm just hearing it.... Well better late than never
I just love it !
ME TOO!😊
This is great twerking music ,oh,yes I twerk Baby!!!
What's a boys best friend, is what I wanna know?
I am going to take a shot,and say it sounds like wussy,I'm just saying!
Not if you're whipped by one!
A big bank account.
Great late 80's tune! E
I was just singing this song, and had to look it up!
funkier than a bearfoot panda
Love, love LOOVE this J&L Stuff!!
Bloody diamonds
they said do the buckey
IF Donald Trump does the Buckey,He has my vote!!!
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced the hell out of this album.
+ Ezekiel Major Ended up the highest-selling album of Alpert's career.
No doubt. Jam & Lewis made magic with that album. Never heard of Alpert before this Album. Diamonds is my favorite cut.
Janet is the bomb! great tune.
Jm and Lewis production and how i loved this one....While MJ rested after his succes with "Triller" :-D
Lars VonJohn , Actually Michael's "Bad" was realeased at the time .
