Diamond in the Rough versuri

Diamond in the Rough lyrics by Cory Derzon

Verse 1
I see you across the room
Looking at me
Like I’m holding a broom
Waiting for me to get up
And sweep the dust away
‘Cause I’m a little more than that
You might have to work enough to use your back
If you want those cobwebs gone
And gone for good

Chorus
What’s the matter
Am I not worthy enough
Oh you got to dig a bit to get the diamond from the rough
What’s the matter
Am I not worthy enough
Oh you got to dig a bit to get the diamond from the rough

Verse 2
Don’t you lead me astray
You’ve done it before
Yeah you pushed me away
So don’t you fret and fuss when the check comes and I don’t pay
I spilled the kettle on my foot when making tea dear
It happened to you but it happened to be
But nothing hurt more than watching as you walked away from me

Chorus
What’s the matter
Am I not worthy enough
Oh you got to dig a bit to get the diamond from the rough
What’s the matter
Am I not worthy enough
Oh you got to dig a bit to get the diamond from the rough

Bridge
I wish I could just let you go
But without you yeah life moves a bit too slow
And in my ocean the wind would blow no more
My sails stop flapping
My wake no longer grows

Verse 3
I know again that I’ll fall for your tricks
Done it before
Even after your kicks
But rather you’re here than there
Or even farther than near
‘Cause I’m a little more than that
You might have to work enough to use your back
Or I’ll stumble and bumble and fall right on through the cracks

Chorus
What’s the matter
Am I not worthy enough
Oh you got to dig a bit to get the diamond from the rough
What’s the matter
Am I not worthy enough
Oh you got to dig a bit to get the diamond from the rough
What’s the matter
Am I not worthy enough
Oh you got to dig a bit to get the diamond from the rough
