Diamonds Lyrics

Feeling like I just got paid
I earned one hundred dollars worth
of gas vouchers today
working as a government slave

When money gets a little bit tight
we've been known to work
no we never lose sight of the little things
its the little things that make it all worth while

They say they do it for the love
and the money but they're living in the sunlight
rich now now I'm working
got a daddy turned a blind eye
oh just to be so young and in love right
and here I stay in the butter
churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds
ch-churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds

Sunny days go and turn to grey
how long will it last
it seems forever to me
I'm judging whether
I got a stack of boos and minimum pay
call on the credit team to fix it
cause we gon' have to miss it
nothing but lack of work to blame
the shame
nothing but lack of work to blame

They say they do it for the love
and the money but they're living in the sunlight
rich now now I'm working
got a daddy turned a blind eye
oh just to be so young and in love right
and here I stay in the butter
churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds
ch-churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds

Tell me what would you do
if you could make diamonds
(if you could make em what would you do)
hide the butter in the gutter where nobody could find them
(would you hide it would would you hide it)
Or would you give me one of them
and go and make another
(go and make another go and make another)
making plans for your friends your fans and your lover
(lover lover lover)

What would you do if
ooh ooh ooh ooh
mmm what would you do if
ooh ooh ooh ooh

They say they do it for the love
and the money but they're living in the sunlight
rich now now I'm working
got a daddy turned a blind eye
oh just to be so young and in love right
and here I stay in the butter
churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds
ch-churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds
ch-churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds
ch-churning butter into
diamonds diamonds diamonds
