Diamond In The Rough (Shine For Me)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Her voice imbedded in my head
An embezzle in my heart
It's spelling her name, and its telling me
Because I can get her in my hands
To put her on my arm
These expensive things are just wearing me
Cause nothing, even matters if my Sun shines
Trapped in, behind the clouds most of the time
I finally see why the guard her soul
Cause she's priceless
But there's something she ought to know, so
She got me pickin' up rocks
Tossing them at her window
Baby come outside
I gave it two or three knocks
Standing at the front door because I gone run 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
You're a diamond in the rough
Dust you off baby, I want to 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
(Because you look so blind)
Cause they same 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
Now this, might be the only time to say it
We're finally face to face and baby
You're probably scared to be put out on display
To be part of a showcase
What if I could paint a picture
You could 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
She got me pickin' up rocks
Tossing them at her window
Baby come outside
I gave it two or three knocks
Standing at the front door because I gone run 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
You're a diamond in the rough
Dust you off baby, I want to 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
(Because you look so blind)
Cause they same 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
