Oh, I promise I didn't know he was your man

I would have noticed a gold wedding band, Diane

I'd rather you hate me than not understand

Oh Diane

You pick the time and the place

Don't know how much this hurts

I gave him my heart to break

Now I know he broke yours first

Lyin' right here in my bed

While he was lying to you

Believing the words that he said

How could we be such fools?

And all those nights that he's given to me

I wish that I could give them back to you

Diane

I promise I didn't know he was your man

I would have noticed a gold wedding band, Diane

I'd rather you hate me than not understand

Oh Diane

You can blame me if it helps

That's what a good wife would do

But you're only cheating yourself

Choosing him over the truth

And all those nights that he's given to me

I wish that I could give them back to you

Diane

I promise I didn't know he was your man

I would have noticed a gold wedding band, Diane

I'd rather you hate me than not understand

Oh Diane

Oh oh Diane, Diane

Oh oh Diane

Oh I'd rather you hate me than not understand

Oh Diane

And all those nights that he's given to me

I wish that I could give them back to you

Diane

I promise I didn't know he was your man

I would have noticed a gold wedding band, Diane

I'd rather you hate me than not understand

Oh, Diane

Diane
