[Verse 1]
EOn a corner by the station a man is tAalking right out lEoud
Trying to make a pitch, tArying to pull a cErowd
People hurry past him, they wAill not give him tEime
He's holding out a diamond and the pArice is just one dEime
[Verse 2]
He isn't selling Jesus, he Aisn't selling cEoke
Board-boys are muttering, "Is thAis some kinda jEoke?"
All these travellers, Aall this passing tEime
He's holding out the diamond and the prAice is just one dEime
[Chorus]
Well, he's a crAook or he's crEazy
SAo the story goEes
But the dDiamond is reAal
And only one man kEnows
And iDf I say I lAove you
Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
And iDf I say I lAove you
Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
NEight falls on the station and Aon your heart's deEsire
The diamond in the darkness, a mAessenger of fEire
Don't throw that stone away, you bAetter understEand
It's my whole life you're holding in the Apalm of your hEand
[Chorus]
EWell, he's a crAook or he's crEazy
SAo the story goEes
But the dDiamond is reAal
And only one manE knows
And iDf I say I lAove you
Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
And iDf I say I lAove you
Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
[Verse 4]
ELove might be a miner dAigging in the dEark
Love might be a hustler hAunting for a mEark
Love might be a singer loAoking for a rhEyme
Love might be priceless but the prAice is still one dEime
[Chorus]
EWell, he's a crAook or he's crEazy
ASo the story gEoes
But the dDiamond is reAal
And only one manE knows
And iDf I say I lAove you
Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
And iDf I say I lAove you
Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond, buy a dDiamond, buy a dAiamond
Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
