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