Diamond in the Rough Lyrics

I'm a diamond in the rough
You know I'm hot stuff
But I just can't stand your guff

You think I'm just a loon
But I think you're a buffoon!

Layin' out in the dunes
Listenin' to my tunes

Shame for you
Shame on you!
You'll rue the rest of your life
For not being my wife

I strive and I strive
To be part of the big beehive
While I watch others
And how they connive

Why should I try?
I'd rather die than live like that!

Trading tit for tat
As I hide behind my hat
I'd sooner be beaten bloody with a bat
Than live as your pet rat!

I strive and I strive
To be part of that big beehive
While I watch others
And how they connive

Shame for you
Shame on you!
You'll rue the rest of your life
For not being my wife

I'm a diamond in the rough
You know I'm hot stuff
And I'll never get enough

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.
