Like a diamond in the rough
You're smiling that's enough
Like a diamond in the rough
You're smiling that's enough
It would shimmer and sing
I was angry back then
Where I have to go is so deep
And you're shining I can see you
Like a diamond in the rough
Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas
You're shining I can see you
Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas
Like a diamond in the rough
And we shimmer and sing
Heaven only knows what went wrong
Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas
Like a diamond in the rough
I'm gonna find it
And we knew everything
In my dreams I go down, I go down
As a little girl I came down
That I'm getting somewhere
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Every now and then I can see
You're shining I can see you
You're shining I can see you
Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas
You're smiling that's enough
And I'm holding on to you
Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas
I'm holding on to you
In my dreams I go down by the water
And there is nothing so cruel
I have lost too much sleep
Like a diamond in the rough
You're smiling that's enough
But I'm gonna find it
And you know I still am
I am holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
With a little girl in my arms
And we know everything, everything
I'm holding on to you
It was mine all along
Than to bury that jewel
But in a little while I got steeped in authority
