Diamonds...

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar.
She couldnt spend one day alone
But she couldnt 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.
But 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
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds


Like the soldier long standing long under fire
Any change comes as a relief.
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief.
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds


Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
