Diamond in Da Ruff - Jaheim

Mmm, diamond

Oh, diamond (Diamond)

Diamond in the rough

Someone that you don’t meet twice

We left The Bricks for the 'burbs

(Bricks for the 'burbs)

Turned Mo' into Remy (Remy)

Matching fur coats and Fendi

From the bus to a Bentley coupe

With a closet full of shoes, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

Then our smiles turned to frowns

Ups turned to downs

I don’t know where I’m going now

I think about her every once in awhile

We started out like Bobby and Whitney

Justin and Britney

Then it all got ugly

If it weren’t for the money (Oh no)

You said I start actin' funny

But what’s wrong wit’cha, honey?

Then the good turned to bad

Forgot what we had

Is it too late to get it back?

I think about her more than once in awhile

Like when I spot a rainbow

Or see a fallin' star

A set of twins, or a classic car

(Baby)

A four-leaf clover, or a two dollar bill (Yeah)

It’s so rare that it’s so unreal

And I don’t know how to get over her smile

I wonder what she’s doing (What's going on?)

I think about her every once in awhile (Every once in awhile)

I should’ve came with a ring (

Came with a ring

Set a date for next May

Guess I thought that you’d wait

Now I hate that I took so long

Played around with her, now she’s gone (No no no)

Now my smiles turned to frowns

Ups turned to downs

And I don’t know where I’m going now (Now now now)

I think about her every once in awhile

We argued like Archie and Edith

Like Ike Turner and Tina

But I really didn’t mean it

I was raised not to hit a woman

Especially not the one I’m lovin'

But when the good turned to bad

Happy to sad

I wish we could take it back (How I miss you, baby)

I think about her every once in awhile

Like when I spot a rainbow

Or see a falling star

A set of twins, or a classic car

(I think about you, baby)

A four-leaf clover or a two dollar bill

(Oh)

It’s so rare that it’s so unreal

I don’t know how

To get over her smile

I wonder what she’s doing now

I think about her every once in awhile

You’re like a star

Shining in the broad daylight

Something you don’t see all the time

And now I finally recognize

That I shoulda made you all mine

Never shoulda let you pass me by

You put that sparkle in my life

Someone that you don’t meet twice

I’m gonna live to regret it, baby

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Baby, baby

I need you, need you, oh oh
