Jewelry Nivea

"Jewelry" by Nivea, a #R&B track released in 2002, explores themes of love, self-worth, and empowerment.

Its smooth production and soulful vocals highlight intimacy, making it a memorable piece in early 2000s R&B.

I know that I'm a diamond
But you don't gotta treat me like one
I know I shine like platinum
And I'm about as real as they come
And I don't like the way you're doing me
You wear me then you put me away
Can't come out until you want me
And I can't let you keep it this way

I don't like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry

I don't like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry

This has become a problem
You watch me like you're security
You place me under lock and key
Like someone's gonna run away with me
You keep the same old stories
You say that you're protecting me
But you only worry how long before you lose me
