I ain't got no college education
I can understand your reservation
I know I'm not the kind of man you're used to
You think I might hurt you and abuse you
Don't believe the image that I have of being wild and acting tough
Underneath I'm special baby. I'm your diamond in the rough
Girl, Don't waste your time looking for perfection
Maybe I'm your natural selection
No I wasn't born in a goddam manger
Maybe I'm just here to give you danger
All the other guys will buy you things and treat you kind and it ain't enough
Whenever you need it harder baby, I'm your diamond in the rough
Baby all your money and your breeding
Won't give you the kind of love you're needing
And all them little boys from the upper crust
Won't know what to do when you need mussed
So tell your little Fauntleroys to pack it up. They just ain't got the stuff!
Believe me when I tell you baby. I'm your diamond in the rough
Your diamond in the rough
Your diamond in the rough
Your diamond in the rough
