Love A Diamond Lyrics
Love a man
Who loves a diamond
And holds it softly
In the palm of his hand
Keeps it warm
And holds it directly
Under the pages
Of his heart's command
Love was overrated
Love was hard to find
Love was overrated
I would find
Be it true
Or be it underhanded
I won't harbor
And she won't crawl
Be it real
Or be it underminded
She won't harbor
And I won't stall
Love was overrated
Love was hard to find
Love was overrated
In my time
Love a man
Who loves a diamond
And holds it softly
In the palm of his hand
Keeps it warm
And holds it directly
Under the pages
Of his heart's command
Who loves a diamond
And holds it softly
In the palm of his hand
Keeps it warm
And holds it directly
Under the pages
Of his heart's command
Love was hard to find
Love was overrated
I would find
Or be it underhanded
I won't harbor
And she won't crawl
Be it real
Or be it underminded
She won't harbor
And I won't stall
Love was hard to find
Love was overrated
In my time
Who loves a diamond
And holds it softly
In the palm of his hand
Keeps it warm
And holds it directly
Under the pages
Of his heart's command

Aw, why hasn't anyone commented on this?
This is my favourite Tonic song I think. Makes my heart swell. I'm presuming the 'diamond' is the girl. So girls, love a man that loves you back.
Simple and beautiful song,it has a slow rhythm but worth the listen.
The diamond is a woman, yes...the singer is saying to choose someone to love that has the ability to value something precious and treat it well.
Also, "love was overrated in my time" he is saying love is a feeling and is fleeting and it takes more than love to make a relationship work long term - it takes honesty, selflessness, etc
So, yeah overall he's saying to women, "find a man who can value you, and has integrity in his life overall, and not just feelings towards you at that moment"
