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
