Diamonds On The Inside |
I knew a girl |
Her name was truth |
She was a horrible liar |
She couldn’t spend one day long |
But she couldn’t be satisfied |
When you have everything |
You have everything to lose |
She made herself |
A bed of nails |
And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use |
Cos she had diamonds on the inside |
She had diamonds on the inside |
She had diamonds on the inside |
Diamonds |
A candle throws its light into the darkness |
In a nasty world, so shines the good deed |
Make sure the fortune, that you seek |
Is the fortune that you need |
So tell me why, the first to ask, is the last to give, everytime |
What you say and do not mean |
Follow too close behind |
Cos she had diamonds on the inside |
She had diamonds on the inside |
She wore diamonds on the inside |
Diamonds |
Like a soldier standing long under fire |
Any change comes as a relief |
Let the giver’s name remain unspoken |
For she is just a generous thief |
But she had diamonds on the inside |
Cos she had diamonds on the inside |
She wore diamonds on the inside |
She wore diamonds |
Oh diamonds |
She had diamonds |
She wore diamonds |
Diamonds |
