Diamonds On The Inside Lyrics by Ben Harper

Diamonds On The Inside Lyrics

    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 planning on putting it to use
    But 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 a good deed
    Make sure the fortune that you seek
    Is the fortune that you need
    Tell me why the first to ask
    Is the last to give every time
    What you say and do not mean
    Follows you close behind

    She had diamonds on the inside
    She had diamonds on the inside
    She wore diamonds on the inside
    Diamonds
    Diamonds

    Like the soldier long standing under fire
    Any change comes as a relief
    Let the giver's name remain unspoken
    She is just a generous thief

    She had diamonds on the inside
    She had diamonds on the inside
    She wore diamonds on the inside
    She wore diamonds
    Oh - diamonds
    She had diamonds
    She wore diamonds
    Diamonds
