Diamond In The Rough

Erma Clanton, Darryl Carter

Girl, you're like a diamond in the rough
Trying to get to you, sure is tough
Girl, you're like a diamond in the rough
But I sure do, sure do, sure do like your stuff

You're unspoiled, untarnished, you're so presh
You're the answer to all my desires
I'd like to keep you all to myself
You know I'm selfish, girl
But still, I ain't no liar, baby

You're like a diamond in the rough
Trying to get to you, sure is tough
Girl, you're like a diamond in the rough
But I sure do, sure do, sure do like your stuff

How long have I looked and searched?
To find a girl like you?
But the more I say, the more you do
To keep me from getting through to you, oh yeah

You're like a rare and precious stone
Hidden down in the bottom of the earth
Girl, you sparkle, you glitter, you gleam, yeah
I'd like to get in there, until I get into your love, oh

You're like a diamond in the rough
Trying to get to you, oh baby, sure is tough
Girl, you're like a diamond in the rough
But I sure do, sure do, sure do like your stuff
