Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

When you have everything

You have everything to lose

She made herself a bed of nails

And she's planning on puttin' it to use

[Chorus]

'Cause she had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

Diamonds

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

Diamonds

Diamonds

[Verse 5]

Like a soldier long standing under fire

Any change comes as a relief

Let the Giver's name remain unspoken

For she is just a generous thief

[Chorus]

But she had diamonds on the inside

'Cause she had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds

[Outro]

Oh, diamonds

She had diamonds

She wore diamonds

Diamonds
