Aretha Franklin - One Room Paradise Lyrics

I don’t need no diamonds (She don’t need)
And I don’t need no money
(She don’t need, she don’t)
Some people live in castles with
Sixty or seventy rooms (She don’t)
Some people dream about a penthouse tall
Or a mansion on the moon

But I got me a little one room paradise
And the man I love (And the man I love)
And that’s all I need now
And the man I love (And the man I love)

Some girls are crazy about diamonds
(Diamonds)
And some go wild about pearls (Go wild)
Some girls go for a lot of loot
From a checkbook that ain't hers
(Sure ain't hers)

But I got me a little one room paradise
And the man I love (And the man I love)
And that’s all I need now
And the man I love (And the man I love)

Now, if one day he lucks up
On a magic pot of gold (Pot of gold)
I wouldn't mind a little diamond ring or
A fur coat for the cold (O oh)
But if it meant I had to lose
Just what I've got right now (Right now)
Then I don’t need no gold anyhow (No, no, oh)

I can’t make love with no diamonds (diamonds)
Give them all to somebody else (anybody)
And what good is one hundred rooms
If you’re there all by yourself (Yes, you)

So I’ll take me my little one room paradise
And the man I love (And the man I love)
Well, that’s all I need now
And the man I love (And the man I love)
I don’t need no diamonds
(She don’t need no diamonds)
Said I don’t need no money
(She don’t need no money, she don’t)
