Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all

[Verse 1]
Like a pervert on a crowded bus
A glare of love bears down on us
Like a carcass left out in the heat
This love is bursting out of me

[Chorus]
Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And a love that lasts forever really can't be that special
Sure we know our roles, and how it's supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?

[Verse 2]
Like an oil tanker tipped at sea
This love's contaminated me
Like a constant twitching in my eye
This love of ours will never die

[Chorus]
Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And a love that lasts forever really can't be that special
Sure we know our roles, how it's supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?
