oh, what the hell, she says, I just can’t win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there’s so many times I don’t know what I’m doing
Like I don’t know now

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Says it’s funny how the night can make you blind
Well, I can just imagine
And I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

(chorus)
and she says “ooh”
I can’t take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can’t help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can’t win - it’s hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don’t feel right

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there’s something less about her
And I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
But don’t let her see

She shuts out the night
And tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight – she’ll be alright
She’ll be alright
Just not tonight.

VOTE FOR ROB FOR PEOPLE'S CHOICE
