[Verse 1]
She may look as if bu*ter won't melt in her mouth
But the first glance may sometimes be a blur
I promise you one day she will head South
And you'll wonder why you didn't stop her
You know appearances are deceptive
You wouldn't judge a book by its cover
So have a closer look, in perspective
Give her another chance to uncover
[Chorus]
Her opening night won't be
Love at first sight, she will
Aim and miss
In the preliminaries
The premiere fails and the
Reviewers bewail there'll be
No encore
'Cause you're not begging for more
[Verse 2]
She may seem self-righteous and holier than thou
She may sound like she has all the answers
By the end she may just feel just a bit anyhow
She may be an insecure ropedancer
All you'll end up with are trifling ephemeras
If you keep giving up at the first go
So don't you concede so easily and bypa**
The obstacles covering the grace below
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
But the first impression
Doesn't say enough
She's a diamond
A diamond in the rough
All you'll end up with are trifling ephemeras
If you keep giving up at the first go
So don't you concede so easily and bypa**
The obstacles covering the grace below
[Chorus x2]
There will be
No encore
Cause you're not begging for more
She's a diamond
In the rough
