Diamond in the Rough

[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
