Tears For Diamonds

[Verse 1]
He crossed the street he knew so well
Got lost there every day
Cursed his work, cried in shame
And was really glad it rained

[Chorus]
Let's trade our tears for diamonds
Trade our tears for diamonds

[Verse 2]
Stepping in the day was long
Much longer than the time
No one around here gave a damn
Not even just a dime

[Chorus]
So let's trade our tears for diamonds
Let's trade our tears for diamonds

[Post-Chorus]
On and on it goes and goes
On and on
Sorry, he never seems to cut it

[Verse 3]
He's poor as fuck and he still deserves
A statue so they say
He took good care of wife and kids
But they left him anyway

[Chorus]
Let's trade his tears for diamonds
Let's trade his tears for diamonds

[Post-Chorus]
On and on it goes and goes
On and on
Sorry, he never seems to cut it
To cut it

[Verse 4]
We change the things we used to love
Until they make us hate
We can dress up on the outside
But inside there's just no way

[Chorus]
Let's trade our tears for diamonds
Let's trade our tears for diamonds

[Post-Chorus]
On and on it goes and goes
On and on
Sorry, he never seems to cut it
