A Thousand Times Over

When I was just a little boy
Before my heart grew this cold
I didn’t know you
And you lived somewhere else
But he’s the one who fell in love
I’m someone else from down below
I get the job done
But you’re my baby, my baby
Still a diamond in the rough
I know you’ll break my heart again
Again and again
Just to know if I love you
But just when I thought I’d let you go Settling in for the final blow
Look who changed his mind
When he thought about it Like a pen run out of ink
And a coat that won’t quite fit
We just go on We don’t think about that
Baby, you’re my baby
Still a diamond in the rough
Can’t you hear your own heart pound
When stand in angels come around
Can’t you see why they love you
So let your hammers ring
And get insight in the things
That we celebrate
Like a book that makes us sweat
Words we catch like fish in nets
Go on, don’t think about it Baby, you’re my baby
Still a diamond in the rough
I know you’ll break my heart again
And again and again
Just to see if I love you
