"Diamonds" lyrics - KATY PERRY
I've got people to see
Places to go
Deadlines to meet
A reputation to up hold
It's like a ton of bricks
Breaking on my back
It's like
The force of gravity
In full effect
I got money to burn
And I'm on the sake
They bet their bomb on me
'Cause I'm their ace of spades
I feel the walls
Getting closer
I'm like a bomb
With all red wires
[Chorus:]
All this pressure
All this pressure
Maybe it means
I'm gonna be
All this pressure
All this pressure
Maybe this means
I'm gonna be
A diamond
It won't ever bend
A diamond
'Cause there ladies
Best friends a diamond
But there
There has to be more
Than what these pirates
Are gambling for
If not for the push
I'd probably be a pebble
If not for the pressure
I'd be forgotten forever
Just another stone
Skipped upon the water
Drowning fast before
The other failures
I don't wanna be
A distant memory
On your wall
Just another cd
That you burned
And never bought
Am I not worth it to you?
After all that drama
That we've been though?
[Chorus]
A diamond
It won't ever bend
A diamond
'Cause there ladies
Best friends
A diamond
But there
There has to be more
Than what these pirates
Are gambling for
[Verse 7]
Ooh ooh diamond
I've gotta be a diamond
(I'm a diamond in the sky
With you standing by
Now catch me if I fall)
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
[Verse 8]
I'm a diamond in the sky
With you standing by
Now catch me if I fall
Into the arms of a coma
[Outro:]
All this pressure
I've got pressure
I'm gonna be a diamond baby
I've gotta be a diamond
Your gonna see
I'm gonna be a diamond
