[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
Is it so hard to say the same thing?
And you're so weak to say the same thing
Burn a hole into your apprehensiveness
And let the wildfire shine
And repeat after me (like)
Good girls go to heaven
And bad girls go everywhere
And tonight I will love you
And tomorrow you won't care
[Bridge: Fox the Fox]
Precious little diamond
I leave it all to you
Precious little diamond
Let it come to you
Precious little, precious little diamond
I leave it all to you
Precious little diamond
Let it come to you
Precious little diamond
[Hook 1: The Weeknd]
You're in love with something bigger than love
You believe in something stronger than trust

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
Don't you shy away from me
Just sacrifice your every last inhibition
I'm on your side
Don't patronize
You know tonight
Is the only time we'll have each other
Why would you try to waste this precious time?
'Cause tonight, we'll be right here
And tomorrow you won't care

About
Genius Annotation
Arguably the most Michael Jackson-esque song on the album, Wanderlust describes, aside from Abel’s own sexual desires, how misconstrued the idea of real “love” is today. Listen to the Pharrell remix of this song below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV1AZwKduS8
This track samples “Precious Little Diamond” performed by Fox the Fox.
Since Abel refers to many modern music classics throughout this album (Fox the Fox, Portishead), the title is probably a reference to the classic Paul McCartney song.
