Lyrics

I was brought upright
I can be polite
Got my degree in Sociology
But somehow proper doesn't apply
I'm an altogether different kind of a guy
Born with a silver spoon in my hand
Eating with silver, everything's bland
Give me a picnic
Give me some air
Life without rules and life without care

I'm frequently misunderstood
Don't do things the way I should
But I'm my own man and that is enough
I'm just a diamond in the rough
Don't wear a tie, just isn't me
Life's too short not to be free
But I'm my own man and that's enough
I'm just a diamond in the rough

Know when to say thank you and please
Which fork and spoon, I do it with ease
I love the classics, rap's not my thing
Give me lyrics I wanna sing
I'm just a guy
Simple and real
Phony baloney isn't my deal
But I'm my own man and that's enough
I'm just a diamond in the rough

Someday I'll find a lady who'll see
Right to the core of what is me
Right or wrong, she'll be my best friend
And I'm gonna love her 'till the end
I'm that guy
Misunderstood
But I'll love her just as I should
Cause I am me
And that's enough
I'm her diamond in the rough
I am not flawless
This gem is tough
Rubies and Emeralds
Enough is enough
I am just a diamond in the rough
