Whoa whoa whoa I declare war on love I declare war on love Finally I'm burning the pages And I declare a war on love And it's not fair to put the blame on you It's not fair to just blame you I kept denying the sound of the sirens So it's not fair to just blame you For too long I played the pretender But now I'll never surrender I need it rain-rain-raining diamonds I need the planets all aligning I know that love is more than just surviving I need it raining diamonds Whoa whoa whoa I'm not scared, a little reckless maybe Till I hold it in my hands And when I fall madly deeply I wanna fall and never land I need it rain-rain-raining diamonds I need the planets all aligning I know that love is more than just surviving I need it raining diamonds Whoa whoa whoa I've heard it heard it heard it All the lines and the imperfections The perfect words are worthless I'd rather go it alone Whoa whoa whoa I need it rain-rain-raining diamonds I need the planets all aligning I know that love is more than just surviving I need it raining diamonds Whoa whoa whoa
