Diamonds on the Inside Songtext
von Ben Harper

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar
She couldnt spend
One day alone
But she couldnt be satisfied

When you have
Everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself
A bed of nails
And shes 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
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
′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
