Dimestore Diamond Lyrics

Everybody knows
the things she does to please
low cut sweaters with her skirt above her knees
she's a dime store diamond

Everybody knows
just where she gets her clothes
a water color painting in a renoir pose
she's a dime store diamond

Everybody knows
but no one can tell
a home made haircut but she wears it well
she's a dime store diamond

you can call her broke
you can call her pour
but everybody knows she ain't cold no more
she's a dime store diamond

shines like the real thing, real thing, real thing
dime store diamond
dime store diamond

gotta catch a one, gotta catch a one one, gonna catch a one
gotta catch a one, gotta catch a one one, gonna catch a one

Everybody knows
the things she does to please
low cut sweaters with her skirt above her knees
she's a dime store diamond
dime store diamond

shines like the real thing, real thing, real thing
dime store

shines like the real thing, real thing, real thing
dime store diamond
dime store diamond
dime store diamond

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

About a girl from a poor family and background, but believing she is meant to do great things and stopping at nothing to achieve it. Maybe even ready to sell herself in some way?

The first two lines, of course, are from "Femme fatale" by Velvet Underground... no accident.
