Lyrics Diamonds On The Inside - Ben Harper

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
