about

This song was co-written by Melanie Peterson and Neil Murchison because nothing in the world is quite as envied as a diamond.

lyrics

She's inspired a thousands songs
This love is as good as gone
Golden hair porcelain skin
Who did I think I was foolin?
She's a diamond, cut from the earth
Dazzling, she knows her worth

I told you my darkest secrets
Gave you my heart
Thought you would keep it I

Shoulda know better
Thinking this would last forever
Shoulda known,
I'm not your girl
Cuz you love diamonds
And I'm a pearl

She's right and I'm wrong
So why do I keep hanging on?

I told you my darkest secrets
Gave you my heart
Thought you would keep it I

Shoulda know better
Thinking this would last forever
Shoulda known,
I'm not your girl
Cuz you love diamonds
And I'm a pearl

She will never love you like I do
And she's making a fool out of you

I told you my darkest secrets
Gave you my heart
Thought you would keep it I

Shoulda know better
Thinking this would last forever
Shoulda known
I'm not your girl
Cuz you love diamonds
And I'm a pearl
I'm a pearl
