lyrics

Some say I’m hard as diamonds but I know it isn’t true
Cause that distinction goes to a couple ladies who
Beat me like a punchbag and treat me like a slave
Yeah I love ‘em like a diamond but I wish they would behave

The bruises I have suffered are deeper than my skin
And I feel like I’m a chair that they are sittin’ in
I ask them to go easy but they treat it like a joke
Cause they’re really hard as diamonds and I wish I’d never spoke

Down on the floor on my face tonight
The girls are really ramping up the pace tonight
All I really want is an embrace tonight
Some grace tonight

So yes they’re hard as diamonds but what did you expect
To say that I’m a softie would be incorrect
I try to match their efforts but they always give it more
Can’t seem to find a method for settling the score

Greeted with indifference, a grumble or a shrug
I sweep exasperation under the rug
Looking for a reason but I know there isn’t one
Yeah I love ‘em like a diamond but sometimes it isn’t fun

Set myself up to pay the price tonight
Guess it’s gonna be like rollin’ dice tonight
All I really want is some spice tonight
Some nice tonight

From the sucker in a card game to the object of disdain
Takin’ all those punches can be a drain
But I want to see the bright side and I almost always do
Cause I love ‘em like a diamond
That’s just my point of view
