SHE' S A DIAMOND

There's a diamond
in her eye
it's a shining
up above

and the moon
in the sky
says you won't tell her why

We're gamblers
we'll tell you lies
she'll take a tumble
and never lose
and in the morning
she'll wear a smile
she's made of stone
but that's alright

She's like fire
she's like ice

she'll leave you high and dry
but that's all right
cuz I don't mind
it's alright

I saw her standing
in the pouring rain
her eyes were shining
just the same
she's a diamond
and that's no lie
she's like the the moon
up in the sky
