Diamond In The Rough

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
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?
Then she said, yeah, yeah
«You're like a diamond in the rough
You’re dirty and you’re damaged
All you need’s a little love
But inside there’s a sparkle
That’ll light the stars above
And you’ll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough»
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
Then she said, yeah, yeah
«You're like a diamond in the rough
You’re dirty and you’re damaged
All you need’s a little love
But inside there’s a sparkle
That’ll light the stars above
And you’ll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough»
Then she said, yeah, yeah
«You're like a diamond in the rough
You’re dirty and you’re damaged
All you need’s a little love
But inside there’s a sparkle
That’ll light the stars above
And you’ll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough»
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
