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 a piece of mind
Piece of mind Yeah, yeah, yeah

I was looking for somethin',
Anything at all
Something to believe in,
Written on the bathroom wall
I've made mistakes, yeah, I've had a few
What's a boy supposed to do?

I've been chasing you like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged,
All you need's a little love
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above
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
I'll pick my fights, yeah, I'll pick some more
Won't you help me up from the floor?

I've been chasing you like a diamond in the rough
You're damaged and you're dirty,
All you need's a little love
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above
You'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough

I've been chasing you like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged,
All you need's a little love
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above
You'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough

Yeah, yeah, like a diamond in the rough
Yeah, yeah, all you need's a little love
Yeah, yeah, like the stars above
You'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough

Diamond in the rough, yeah, yeah
Like the stars above, yeah, yeah
All you need's a little love, yeah, yeah
