Diamond in the Rough

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I've been up, yeah, and I've been down Been kicked around, yeah, this God-forsaken town So many faults, so little time I've gotta find my piece of mind, peace of mind [Verse 2] I was looking for something, anything at all Something to believe in, spray-painted on the walls I've made mistakes, yeah, I've paid for them too What's a poor boy supposed to do? [Chorus] Then she said, "Yeah, yeah, like a diamond in the rough You're dirty and you're damaged, all you need's a little love But the inside has a sparkle that'll light the stars above And you'll be there in the morning when the going gets tough" [Verse 3] There was a time when I could not say I got a reason to live another day A discarded treasure, they all passed on by And I can understand the reasons why [Chorus] Then she said, "Yeah, yeah, like a diamond in the rough You're dirty and you're damaged, all you need's a little love But the inside has a sparkle that'll light the stars above You'll be there in the morning when the going gets tough" [Chorus] Then she said, "Yeah, yeah, like a diamond in the rough You're dirty and you're damaged, all you need's a little love But the inside has a sparkle that'll light the stars above You'll be there in the morning when the going gets tough" [Outro] Yeah, yeah, diamond in the rough Yeah, yeah, gonna light the stars above Yeah, yeah, all you need's a little love You'll be there in the morning when the going gets tough Diamond in the rough now, yeah, yeah Who'll light the stars above, yeah, yeah All you need's a little love now, yeah, yeah
