Diamonds On The Inside

I knew a girl, her name was truth

She was a horrible liar

She couldn't spend one day alone

But she couldn't be satisfied

When you have everything

You have everything to lose

She made herself a bed of nails

And she's plannin' on puttin' it to use

'Cos she had diamonds on the inside

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 every time

What you say and do not mean

Follow too close behind

'Cos she had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

Diamonds, diamonds

Like a soldier long standing under fire

Any change comes as a relief

Let the giver's name remain unspoken

For she is just a generous thief

But she had diamonds on the inside

'Cos she had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds

Oh diamonds

She had diamonds

She wore diamonds

Diamonds
