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 'Cause 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 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 'Cause she had diamonds on the inside She had diamonds on the inside She wore diamonds on the inside Diamonds Like a soldier standing long 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 'Cause she had diamonds on the inside She wore diamonds on the inside She wore diamonds Oh diamonds She had diamonds She wore diamonds Diamonds --- Diamonds on the Inside - Ben Harper
