I'd made that journey many times
I knew by heart the danger signs
Took a little chance on a stranger
I'd been hurt before but I'd survived
You soon became a precious stone
You told me you were mine to own
Didn't have the strength to resist you
'Cause it was different…
When you kissed me I knew part of me had died
I went in open-eyed
You were a diamond in the rough, brilliant and tough
Diamonds are forever, I was so in love
But you are not a girl's best friend, no use to pretend
Baby, it was you who wasn't good enough
Diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
Baby, it was you who wasn't good enough
Diamond in the rough
It's hard to take the temperature
When love's declared on Messenger
Blow a little kiss with an icon
To conceal the fact you slept with her
You pulled me up and tugged the strings
Sent me an image of a wedding ring
Didn't make it onto my finger
But hope would linger 'til…
You shattered all my dreams into my fears
Now it's crystal clear
You were a diamond in the rough, brilliant and tough
Diamonds are forever, I was so in love
But you are not a girl's best friend, no use to pretend
Baby, it was you who wasn't good enough
Diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
Baby, it was you who wasn't good enough
Diamond in the rough
My friends say in time I will learn to forget you
But my only fear is I'll grow to regret you
You were a diamond in the rough, brilliant and tough
Diamonds are forever, I was so in love
But you are not a girl's best friend, no use to pretend
Baby, it was you who wasn't good enough
Diamond in the rough
I'd made that journey many times
I knew by heart the danger signs
Took a little chance on a stranger
Diamond in the rough
Didn't have the strength to resist you
Baby, it was you who wasn't good enough
Diamond in the rough
