Diamond in the rough

Well, I´ve been up, yeah
And I´ve been down
Been kicked around, yeah
This god-forsaken town
So many faults, so little time
I´ve gotta find my piece of mind
Peace of mind
I was looking for something
Anything at all
Something to believe in
Spray-painted on the walls
I´ve made mistakes, yeah
I´ve paid for them too
What´s a poor boy supposed to do
Then she said yea, yea
“You´re like a diamond in the rough
You´re dirty and you´re damaged
All you need´s a little love
But inside there´s a sparkle
That´ll light the stars above
And you´ll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough”
There was a time when, I could not say
I got a reason to live another day
A discarded treasure, they all passed on by
And I can understand the reasons why
Then she said yea, yea
“You´re like a diamond in the rough
You´re dirty and you´re damaged
All you need´s a little love
But inside there´s a sparkle
That´ll light the stars above
And you´ll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough”

Yea, yea, diamond in the rough
Yea, yea, gonna light the stars above
Yea, yea, all you need´s a little love
You´ll be there in the morning
When the going… gets tough
Diamond in the rough now, yea, yea
Who´ll light the stars above, yea, yea
All you need´s a little love now, yea, yea
And I´ve been down
Been kicked around, yeah
This god-forsaken town
So many faults, so little time
I´ve gotta find my piece of mind
Peace of mind
I was looking for something
Anything at all
Something to believe in
Spray-painted on the walls
I´ve made mistakes, yeah
I´ve paid for them too
What´s a poor boy supposed to do
Then she said yea, yea
“You´re like a diamond in the rough
You´re dirty and you´re damaged
All you need´s a little love
But inside there´s a sparkle
That´ll light the stars above
And you´ll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough”
There was a time when, I could not say
