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 it’s 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 Ben Harper Lyrics Diamonds on The Inside Lyrics
