Plastic diamonds gave me hope
The thoughts of what plastic diamonds would bring me filled me with joy
A longing I've never known
Plastic diamonds gave me my world
Some want rubies, pearls, or emeralds; silver or gold even bronze
But all that is meaningless and unimportant
You make me extremely happy with promises of plastic diamonds
I know sometimes we're gonna feel unworthy of each other
But I promise I'll never let you completely leave my life again
I did that once I can't let that happen again
I love you and all I want is for us to be happy together or not
Plastic diamonds are special we may not always have them together
But I hope you'll have them with someone special my love
Dreams of plastic diamonds with you gave me something to live for
A future I actually wanted a life to hope for
I want a happy life with you but if we don't get that please don't leave me
I want to be yours but if I can't be yours please stay with me don't leave me again
