one room paradise

i don't need no diamonds

and i don't need no money

some people live in castles with sixty or seventy rooms

some people dream about a penthouse doll or a mansion on the moon

but i got me a little one room paradise and the man i love

and that's all i need now

and the man i love

some girls are crazy about diamonds

some go wild about perls

some girls go for a lot of loot from a check book that ain't hers

but i got me a little one room to paradise and the man i love

and that's all i need now

and the man i love

now

if one day he lucks up on a magic pot of gold

i wouldn't mind a little diamond ring or a fur coat for the cold

but if it meant i had to lose just what i've got right now

then i don't need no gold anyhow

i can't make love with no diamonds

give them all to somebody else

and what good is one hundred rooms if you're debtor by yourself

so i'll take me my little one room paradise and the man i love

well

that's all i need now

and the man i love

i don't need no diamonds

said i don't need no money
