From last place to number one
From ugly duckling into swan
Behind that frown there lies a smile
That only comes out to beguile
First impressions are deceiving
See the light, end up believing
Have a little faith to get to know
She's a diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
She's not just some bit of stuff
Down at the bar we had a laugh
At childhood tales of acting daft
She would make the best of friends
Even if not my girlfriend
Only need to see her smile to know
She's a diamond in the rough
Sit back and watch those classy moves
That go along with funky the groves
She understands that less is more
With subtlety on the dance floor
A sense of style second to none
Just take a look what she's got on
And underneath it all I think you know
She's a diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
She's not just some bit of stuff
Down at the bar we had a laugh
At childhood tales of acting daft
She would make the best of friends
Even though not my girlfriend
Only need to see her smile to know
She's a diamond in the rough
Now I know she's got that ginger hair
And freckles too, I just don't care
Cause somehow it just seems to suit her
Wouldn't want to substitute her
For any blonde girl or brunette
Cause she's the best I've ever met
Look into her eyes and you will know
She's a diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
She's not just some bit of stuff
Down at the bar, we had a laugh
At childhood tales of acting daft
She would make the best of friends
Though not necessarily my girlfriend
Only need to see her smile to know
She's a diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
She might be ginger but she's no minger
