Diamond in the Rough Songtext
von Syl Johnson

Girl, you′re like a diamond in the rough
Trying to get to you, show your stuff
Girl, you're like a diamond in the rough
But I sure do, sure do, sure do like your stuff

You inspire and astonish, you′re surprise
You're the answer to all my desires
I'd like to keep you all to myself
You know I′m selfish, girl
But still, I ain′t no liar


Baby, you're like a diamond in the rough
Trying to get to you show your stuff
Girl, you′re like a diamond in the rough
But I sure do, sure do, sure do like your stuff

How long have I looked and searched
To find a girl like you?
But the more I say
The more you do
To keep me getting through to you girl, girl

You're like a rare and precious stone
Oh, get down, get in the car, open up the door
Girl, it′s my thoughts that baby you're in
I′d like to get in there until I get to your love

You're like a diamond in the rough
Trying to get to you, oh baby, show your stuff
Girl, you're like a diamond in the rough
