A Thousand Times Over Lyrics

when i was just a little boy
before my heart grew this cold
i didn't know you
and you lived somewhere else
but he's the one who fell in love
in someone else from down below
i get the job done

but you're my baby
my baby
you're a diamond in the rough
i know you'll break my heart again
and again and again
just to know if i love you

but just wheni thought i'd let you go
settling in for the final blow
look who changed his mind
when he thought about it
like a pen run out of ink
and a coat that won't quite fit
we just go on we don't think about that

baby you're my baby
still a diamond in the rough
can't you hear your own heart pound
when stand-in angels come around
can't you see why they love you
so let your hammers ring
and gain insight in the things
that we celebrate
like a book that makes us sweat
words we catch like fish in nets
go on don't think about it

baby you're my baby
still a diamond in the rough
i know you will break my heart again
and again and again
just to see if i love
