dinah (diamond in the rough)

sippin' from a hose in north carolina

in a summer so hot you'd appreciate simple stuff

i didn't have much

but i had a girl named dinah

this poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

trying to make my way.north carolina

puttin' food on the table when i didn't earn enough

never mattered much to her

but that's just like dinah

this poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

dinah will always say even to this day

that i have what it takes in spite of mistakes i've made

dinah believes in me

though i've fallin' short of what i wanted to achieve

dinah believes i can

she's my girl and i'm her man

can't love her enough

this poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

when it comes to love

i leave that to dinah

her's is like a drug

keeps me goin' back for more

if she asked me to i would dig clear through to china

anything she might need day or night

is what i'm livin' for

dinah will always say even to this day

that i have what it takes and in spite of mistakes i've made

dinah believes in me

though i've fallin' short of what i wanted to achieve

dinah believes i can

she's my girl and i'm her man

can't love her enough

this poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

dinah will always say even to this day

that i have what it takes in spite of mistakes i've made

dinah believes in me

though i've fallin' short of what i wanted to achieve

dinah believes i can

she's my girl and i'm her man

can't love her enough
