Diamonds to A Baby

He told me never to look too drunk at bars.

We had a safe, comfortable love.

He cleaned the lent out my dryer

Stayed on the phone while I

Walked to my car or drove home

From work.

It was never contrived, But genuine

I didnt notice then, but maybe

God gave diamonds to a baby

And she didnt know not to play with them

Had I known how to love, I wouldve

Held on tighter to what I had.

Had I known how much diamonds cost to replace

I wouldve never left that place

Without saying what needed to be said.

There are a few things money cant buy

And a few times sorry isnt good enough

Now that Im looking for diamonds

The only thing I see is rough.
