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

When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself
A bed of nails
And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use

But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

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

So tell me why, the first to ask, is the last to give, everytime
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
