[Verse 1]
Her voice embedded in my head
And the bezel of my heart
It's spelling her name, and its tearing me
Cause' I can't get her in my hands
To put her on my arm
These expensive things are just wearing me
Cause' nothing, even matters if her sun shines
Trapped in, behind the clouds most of the time
I finally see why they guard her soul
Cause' she's priceless
But there's something that she ought to know, so
[Bridge]
She got me pickin' up rocks
Tossin' them at her window
Baby come outside
I gave it two or three knocks
Standin' at the front door
Cause' I done ran out of rocks
(oh I gotta get up)
And let her know she's perfect in ways
(she couldn't think of)
And I think about her everyday
This might not be love, but this crush
Got me wantin' to tell you today
[Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough
Dust you off baby, I wanna' make you shine for me
And if I can take you out, I'll show you off baby
I want the whole world to see
(your future looks so blind)
Cause' they say I'm a star
(but you can carry your own light)
Shed some light on my heart
You're a diamond in the rough
I want to make you shine for me
Shine for me, shine for me
[Verse 2]
Now this, might be the only time to say it
We're finally face to face and maybe hu
You're probably scared to be put out on display
To be part of a showcase
But if I could paint a picture
You'd be my Mona Lisa
Baby you're a work of art
And just when I thought I had her
Baby girl picked her bag up
Told me watch out, then she ran back into the house now
[Bridge]
She got me pickin' up rocks
Tossin' them at her window
Baby come outside
I gave it two or three knocks
Standin' at the front door
Cause' I done ran out of rocks
(oh I gotta get up)
And let her know she's perfect in ways
(she couldn't think of)
And I think about her everyday
This might not be love, but this crush
Got me wanting to tell you today
[Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough
Dust you off baby, I wanna' make you shine for me
And if I can take you out, I'll show you off baby
I want the whole world to see
(your future looks so blind)
Cause' they say I'm a star
(but you can carry your own light)
Shed some light on my heart
You're a diamond in the rough
I want to make you shine for me
Shine for me, shine for me
[Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough
Dust you off baby, I wanna' make you shine for me
And if I can take you out, I'll show you off baby
I want the whole world to see
(your future looks so blind)
Cause' they say I'm a star
(but you can carry your own light)
Shed some light on my heart
You're a diamond in the rough
I want to make you shine for me
Shine for me, shine for me
