Pressure Makes Diamonds Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Either I'm too thin
I got a breakout on my skin
It makes me break down, lose my shit
I see myself, I wanna quit
Either I'm a slut
I got with way too many men
If I'm not sleeping with the guy I'm hanging with
I must be a virgin

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody asks me when I'll settle down and marry
Get a house out in the country
Have a baby, well, I'm sorry
I'm just tryna make it through the bullshit flying at me
Turn it into something catchy
And then make it into money

[Chorus]
Cannot talk, but I'm trying (Mmh)
Kinda done with the fighting
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wantin'
So I'ma work till the morning
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds, I

[Verse 2]
Every year I'm older I just keep on getting closer
To my career being over
'Cause my sex appeal is lower
And I, I know I'm not a rich girl
My dad weren't famous in the 80s
Oh, but I don't let it faze me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll just keep on swimmin' through the patriarchal system
Kick them down with my ambition
Yeah, I do it on the daily
I'm just tryna make it through the bullshit flying at me
Turn it into something catchy
And then make it into money

[Chorus]
Cannot talk, but I'm trying (Mmh)
Kinda done with the fighting
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wantin'
So I'ma work till the morning
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds, I

[Bridge]
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds, oh
Pressure makes diamonds, yeah
And pressure makes diamonds, I
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds, oh
Pressure makes diamonds, yeah
And pressure makes diamonds, I

[Chorus]
Cannot talk, but I'm trying (Yeah)
Kinda done with the fighting (Yeah)
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wantin'
So I'ma work till the morning (Mm-mmh)
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds, I

What have the artists said about the song?

I’ve watched so many Dolly Parton documentaries and I’m really inspired by the way she writes fun, upbeat songs with an underlying message. This song began with a piano loop that’s now a guitar loop: I just picked up a microphone and the song came out as a stream of consciousness. I didn’t even know...
