    This issue goes back to the 18th century and Cartesian times. If you were a lover of a wealthy count, or a duke, you were not given money as gifts. A genuine Cartesian female would receive gems and jewelry for repayment of her services. They were not just sexual. You had to be well educated and be able to hold a conversation with royalty. A real Cartesian female would gather enough of jewelry to comfortably retire once she lost her beauty. That is why it is said that diamonds are the girls best friend even though she may not be a girl anymore.

    A kiss on the hand may be quite continental

    But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    A kiss may be grand,

    But it won't pay the rental on your humble flat or help

    You at the automat

    Men grown cold as girls grow old,

    And we all lose our charms in the end.

    But square-cut or pear-shape,

    These rocks don't lose their shape

    Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

    diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    There may be a time when a hard boiled employer

    Thinks you're awful nice

    but get that ice or else no dice.

    He's your guy when stocks are high,

    but beware when they start to descend

    It's then that those louses go back to their spouses

    Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    Diamonds are a girls best friend because men have to sacrifice to buy them for us. So the diamonds keep us company while they work extra hours to pay them off! Personally i would rather just have my man!

    The following are the reasons why Diamonds are Girls' best friend:

    1) They always look good on us.

    2) It means forever. When given one, we know the giver wants us around for good.

    3) It is expensive and women have to be pampered, right? :)

    Because Marilyn Monrowe said so. Next bit from the song she sung.

    Men grow cold as girls grow old, but we all lose our charms in the end. But Square shaped or pear shaped, these rocks won't lose their shape cos diamonds are a girls best friend.

    Ps. Not sure if the words are absolutely accurate

    Show a girl a diamond and watch her eyes light up. Girls who say they don't love diamonds have never seen one held in front of them.

    The way they sparkle is mesmerising, and makes us giddy.

    because they have been conditioned throughtout the years by De Beers to think that a diamond ring is the only way for a man to prove his love to a female..

    And that is a fact...
