Aretha Franklin - One Room Paradise (From `Runnin` Out Of Fools`)

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 doll 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
Some go wild about perls go wild
Some girls go for a lot of loot from a check book that ain’t hers sho’ ain’t hers
But I got me a little one room to 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 ooh
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 debtor 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
