You can call a rock a diamond 
you can polish it like glass
You can put it in a ring
And give it to that special lass
You call a rock a diamond, 
but no matter what you say
A rock is still a rock and that's how it will stay.

You can find a pretty rock, 
And call it a diamond in the rough
You can cut it like a jem, 
But even that won't be enough.
Cause you can call a rock a diamond, 
but no matter what you do
Calling a rock a diamond, won't make it true

You can find a pretty girl
And say that she's a jewel,
You can claim that she is nice,
Just because she beautiful.
But you can call a rock a diamond,
but no matter what you claim,
Calling a rock a diamond, 
Can only bring you shame.

You can find a lonely girl,
Standing on her own,
You can tell her that she's just
An ordinary stone.

But Though a rock is not a diamond,
No matter what you say
A diamond's still a diamond
and that's how it will stay.
