Diamond in the Rough - Beady Belle

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 premiere fails

And the reviewers bewail

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

But beyond she may feel just a bit anyhow

She may be an insecure ropedancer

All you’ll end up with are trifling ephemeras

If you keep giving up at the frist go

So don’t you concede so easily and bypass

The obstacles covering the grace below

Her opening night

Won’t be love at first sight

She will aim and miss

In the preliminaries

The premiere fails

And the reviewers bewail

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

All you’ll end up with are trifling ephemeras

If you keep giving up at the frist go

So don’t you concede so easily and bypass

The obstacles covering the grace below

Her opening night

Won’t be love at first sight

She will aim and miss

In the preliminaries

The premiere fails

And the reviewers bewail

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 premiere fails

And the reviewers bewail

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
