Diamonds are so pretty,
rubies are so red
my baby's gone and left me,
she's made another's bed
i can't believe this misery,
sneaks up on you real slow
if she's the one in trouble
why's it me that has to go
I don't wanna leave this town
i'm not the one to blame
leaving all my friends behind
in sorrow and shame
I thought that we were happy,
i thought our love was true
a better life you couldn't find
speak on like lovers do
taken by the devil
to another man's arms
held captive by his richness
and shackled by his charms
I don't wanna leave this town
i don't wanna know
leaving all my friends behind
i don't wanna go
I can't pretend, love's lost again
and i don't know what i'm gonna do
it's just breakin' my heart in two
Oh, i don't wanna leave this town
i'm not the one to blame
leaving all my friends behind
in sorrow and shame
I can't pretend, love's lost again
and i don't know what i'm gonna do
it's just breakin' my heart in two
No, i don't wanna leave this town
i don't wanna go
leaving all my friends behind
i don't wanna know
I don't wanna leave this town
i don't wanna know
leaving all my friends behind
i don't wanna go
