Diamonds On The Inside

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 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,everytime What you say and do not mean Follow too close behind Cos she had diamonds on the inside She wore diamonds on the inside 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 Ben Harper
