Intro:

     (x2)

            
 Oh no, oh no,
        
 Oh no.

Verse 1:

                                                   
You'll never make me stay, so take your weight off of me,
                                              
I know your every move, so won't you just let me be?
                                                 
I've been here times before, but I was too blind to see,
                                                    
That you se-duce every man; this time you won't seduce me.

                                            
She's saying; that's ok, hey baby, do what you please,
                                                     
I have the stuff that you want; I am the thing that you need.
                                                      
She looked me deep in the eyes, she's touchin' me, so to start,
                                           
She says there's no turnin' back; she trapped me in her heart.

Chorus 1:

                         
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
                                     
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana; let me be!

Interlude:

     (x2)

            
 Oh no, oh no,
        
 Oh no.

Verse 2:

                                                         
She likes the boys in the band; she knows when they come to town,
                                           
Every musician's fan, after the curtain comes down.
                                                   
She waits at backstage doors, for those who have pres-tige,
                                                 
Who promise fortune and fame; a life that's so care-free.

                                            
She's saying; that's ok, hey baby, do what you want,
                                                        
I'll be your night lovin' thing, I'll be the freak you can taunt.
                                             
And I don't care what you say; I want to go too far,
                             
I'll be your everything, if you make me a star.

Chorus 2:

                         
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
                             
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana.
                         
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
                             
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana.

        
Di-ana!
        
Di-ana!
              
Dirty Di-ana!
                     
It's Dia-aa-aa, come on!

Solo:

     (x8)

Verse 3:

                                                 
She said I have to go home, 'cos I'm real tired you see,
                                                
But I hate sleepin' alone; why don't you come with me?
                                                 
I said my baby's at home; she's probably worried to-night,
                                            
I didn't call on the phone, to say that I'm al-right.

                                               
Diana walked up to me, she said; I'm all yours to-night,
                                              
At that I ran to the phone, sayin'; baby, I'm al-right.
                                              
I said but unlock the door, because I forgot the key.
                                          
She said; he's not coming back; because he's sleeping with me.

Chorus 3:

                         
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
                             
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana.
                         
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
                             
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana.

         
Come on!
         
Come on!
         
Come on!
         
Come on!
