Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself a bed of nails
And she's planning on puttin' it to use
[Chorus]
'Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
[Verse 3]
A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world, so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
[Verse 4]
So tell me why the first to ask
Is the last to give every time?
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind
[Chorus]
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Diamonds
[Verse 5]
Like a soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the Giver's name remain unspoken
For she is just a generous thief
[Chorus]
But she had diamonds on the inside
'Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
[Outro]
Oh, diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
