Lyrics
0:02I knew a girl
0:05Her name was truth
0:08She was a horrible liar
0:14She couldn't spend one day alone
0:20But she couldn't be satisfied
0:27When you have everything
0:32You have everything to lose
0:39She made herself
0:42A bed of nails
0:44And she's plannin' on puttin' it to use
0:50Cos she had diamonds on the inside
0:56She had diamonds on the inside
1:02She had diamonds on the inside
1:09Diamonds
1:16A candle throws its light into the darkness
1:21In a nasty world so shines the good deed
1:28Make sure the fortune that you seek
1:34Is the fortune that you need
1:41So tell me why the first to ask is the last to give every time
1:53What you say and do not mean
1:59Follow too close behind
2:04Cos she had diamonds on the inside
2:10She had diamonds on the inside
2:16She wore diamonds on the inside
2:23Diamonds
2:29Diamonds
3:00Like a soldier standing under fire
3:06Any change comes as a relief
3:12Let the giver's name remain unspoken
3:19For she is just a generous thief
3:24But she had diamonds on the inside
3:30Cos she had diamonds on the inside
3:37She wore diamonds on the inside
3:43She wore diamonds
3:49Oh diamonds
3:55She had diamonds
4:01She wore diamonds
4:08Diamonds
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 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
