Diamond in da Ruff

Lyrics

[Intro] Mmm, diamond Oh, diamond (Diamond) Diamond in the rough Someone that you don't meet twice [Verse 1] We left The Bricks for the 'burbs (Bricks for the 'burbs) Turned Mo' into Remy (Remy) Matching fur coats and Fendi From the bus to a Bentley coupe With a closet full of shoes, yeah (Yeah, yeah) [Refrain] Then our smiles turned to frowns Ups turned to downs I don't know where I'm going now I think about her every once in awhile [Verse 2] We started out like Bobby and Whitney Justin and Britney Then it all got ugly If it weren't for the money (Oh no) You said I start actin' funny But what's wrong wit'cha, honey? Then the good turned to bad Forgot what we had Is it too late to get it back? I think about her more than once in awhile [Chorus] Like when I spot a rainbow Or see a fallin' star A set of twins, or a classic car (Baby) A four-leaf clover, or a two dollar bill (Yeah) It's so rare that it's so unreal And I don't know how to get over her smile I wonder what she's doing (What's going on?) I think about her every once in awhile (Every once in awhile) [Verse 3] I should've came with a ring (Came with a ring) Set a date for next May Guess I thought that you'd wait Now I hate that I took so long Played around with her, now she's gone (No no no) [Refrain] Now my smiles turned to frowns Ups turned to downs And I don't know where I'm going now (Now now now) I think about her every once in awhile [Verse 4] We argued like Archie and Edith Like Ike Turner and Tina But I really didn't mean it I was raised not to hit a woman Especially not the one I'm lovin' But when the good turned to bad Happy to sad I wish we could take it back (How I miss you, baby) I think about her every once in awhile [Chorus] Like when I spot a rainbow Or see a falling star A set of twins, or a classic car (I think about you, baby) A four-leaf clover or a two dollar bill (Oh) It's so rare that it's so unreal I don't know how To get over her smile I wonder what she's doing now I think about her every once in awhile [Outro] You're like a star Shining in the broad daylight Something you don't see all the time And now I finally recognize That I shoulda made you all mine Never shoulda let you pass me by You put that sparkle in my life Someone that you don't meet twice I'm gonna live to regret it, baby Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh Baby, baby I need you, need you, oh oh
