Bobby Caldwell - Dinah (Diamond In The Rough) lyrics

Sippin’ from a hose in North Carolina In a summer so hot you’d appreciate simple stuff I didn’t have much, but I had a girl named Dinah This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough Trying to make my way…North Carolina Puttin’ food on the table when I didn’t earn enough Never mattered much to her, but that’s just like Dinah This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough Dinah will always say even to this day That I have what it takes in spite of mistakes I’ve made Dinah believes in me Though I’ve fallin’ short of what I wanted to achieve Dinah believes I can She’s my girl and I’m her man Can’t love her enough This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough When it comes to love, I leave that to Dinah Her’s is like a drug Keeps me goin’ back for more If she asked me to I would dig clear through to China Anything she might need day or night Is what I’m livin’ for Dinah will always say even to this day That I have what it takes and in spite of mistakes I’ve made Dinah believes in me Though I’ve fallin’ short of what I wanted to achieve Dinah believes I can She’s my girl and I’m her man Can’t love her enough This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough Dinah will always say even to this day That I have what it takes in spite of mistakes I’ve made Dinah believes in me Though I’ve fallin’ short of what I wanted to achieve Dinah believes I can She’s my girl and I’m her man Can’t love her enough This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
