Songtext Diamond in the rough Beady Belle

Diamond in the rough

She may look as if butter won't
Melt in her mouth
But the first glance may
Sometimes be a blur

I promise you one day
She will head South
And you'll wonder why
You didn't stop her

You know appearances are deceptive
You wouldn't judge a book by its cover
So have a closer look in perspective
Give her another chance to uncover

Her opening night won't be
Love at first sight, she will
Aim and miss
In the preliminaries

The primy affairs and the
Reviewers beware there'll be
No encore
Cause you're not begging for more

She may seem self-righteous
And holier than thou
She may sound like
She has all the answers

By the end she may just feel
Just a bit anyhow
She may be an
Insecure old dancer

Oh you'll end up with a trifling in for us (?)
If you keep giving up at the first go
So don't you concede so easily and bypass
The obstacles covering the grays below

Her opening night won't be
Love at first sight, she will
Aim and miss
In the preliminaries

The primy affairs and the
Reviewers beware there'll be
No encore
Cause you're not begging for more

But the first impression
Doesn't say enough
She's a diamond
A diamond in the rough

Oh you'll end up with a trifling in for us (?)
If you keep giving up at the first go
So don't you concede so easily and bypass
The obstacles covering the grays below

Her opening night won't be
Love at first sight, she will
Aim and miss
In the preliminaries

The primy affairs and the
Reviewers beware there'll be
No encore
Cause you're not begging for more

Her opening night won't be
Love at first sight, she will
Aim and miss
In the preliminaries

The primy affairs and the
Reviewers beware there'll be
No encore
Cause you're not begging for more

There will be
No encore
Cause you're not begging for more

She's a diamond in the rough
