Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Diamond, oh diamond
Diamond in da ruff
Someone that you don't meet twice
[Verse 2]
We left the bricks for the burbs, turned Mo into Remy (Remy)
Matchin' fur coats and Fendi from the bus to a Bentley coupe
With a closet full of shoes, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Then our smiles turned to frowns, ups turned to downs
I don't know where I'm goin' now
I think about her every once in a while
We started out like Bobby and Whitney, Justin and Britney
Then it all got ugly, if it weren't for the money
You said I start actin' funny, but what's wrong with you, honey?
[Verse 3]
Then the good turned to bad, forgot what we had
Is it too late to get it back?
I think about her every once in a while
[Verse 4]
Like, when I spot a rainbow (Or see a fallin' star)
(A set of twins or a classic car)
(A four-leaf clover or a two dollar bill)
(It's so rare that it's so unreal)
[Verse 5]
And I don't know how to get over her smile
I wonder what she's doin (What's goin' on)
(I think about her every once in a while), once in a while
[Verse 6]
I shoulda came with a ring, set a date for next May
Guess I thought that you'd wait, now I hate that I took so long
Played around with her, now she's gone, oh no
Now my smiles turned to frowns, ups turned to downs
And I don't know where I'm goin' (Now, now, now)
I think about her every once in a while
[Verse 7]
We argued like Archie and Edith
Like Ike turned on Tina
But I really didn't mean it
I was raised not to hit a woman
Especially not the one I'm lovin'
But when the good turned to bad, happy to sad
I wish we could take it back (How I miss you baby)
I think about her every once in a while
[Verse 8]
Like when I spot a rainbow or see a fallin' star
(A set of twins or a classic car)
(A four leaf clover or a two-dollar bill)
(It's so rare that it's so unreal)
And I don't know how to get over her smile
Wonder what she's doin' now
(I think about her every once in a while)
You're like a star, shinin' in the broad daylight
Somethin' you don't see all the time
And now, I finally recognize
That I shoulda made you all mine
Never shoulda let you pass me by
You put that sparkle in my life
Someone that you don't meet twice
I'm gonna live to regret it baby
Baby, baby
I miss you, need you, yeah
