Diamonds On The Inside - 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. 

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 you need. 

So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give,everytime 
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 

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 
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
