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 somethin'
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 yea, yea
? You? re like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged
All you need's a little love
But inside you 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 yea, yea
? 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?
Yea, yea, diamond in the rough
Yea, yea, gonna light the stars above
Yea, yea, all you need? s a little love
You'll be there in the morning
When the going? Gets tough
Diamond in the rough now, yea, yea
Who? ll light the stars above, yea, yea
All you need? s a little love now, yea, yea
